In a report by The Punch, President Tinubu has appointed Dr. Muliyat Omolola Oseni as chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

The change matters because NERC shapes tariffs, market rules, consumer protection and investor confidence—areas under pressure from service shortfalls and reform disputes.

Verification: Premium Times and Vanguard also reported the appointment and the leadership change at the regulator.

Quotes: Premium Times: “President Tinubu appoints new NERC chairman…” Vanguard: “Tinubu appoints Dr. Muliyat Oseni as NERC Chairman…”

Analysis/Echotitbits take: Appointments don’t fix electricity—execution does. Watch the first 90 days: metering acceleration, estimated billing controls, Disco performance enforcement, and transparent dispute resolution across the value chain.
