President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved eight fresh appointments following a wave of resignations within his administration triggered by the 2027 election cycle.
The announcement, disclosed on March 30, 2026, by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, includes the appointment of Senator Ibrahim Ida as Chairman of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) alongside the nomination of seven commissioners for the National Population Commission (NPC).

The newly nominated NPC commissioners are:

Nasiru Mu’azu (Zamfara)
Usman Abubakar Tuggar (Bauchi)
Dr. Isaka Alada Yahaya (Kwara)
Prof. Sadiq Isah Radda (Katsina)
Suleiman Umar (Jigawa)
Chiso Abdullahi Dattijo (Sokoto)
The appointments come amid a broader cabinet shake-up following the president’s directive that all political appointees seeking elective office in the 2027 general elections must resign on or before March 31, 2026.
One of the prominent exits includes Foreign Affairs Minister Yusuf Tuggar, who reportedly stepped down to pursue a governorship ambition in Bauchi State, with other resignations expected across ministries and agencies.
