Tinubu Appoints Oseni as NERC Chairman, Drops Ramat

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of Dr. Oseni as the new Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), replacing Sanusi Garba Ramat. The decision is part of ongoing efforts to reposition the power sector for improved regulation, transparency and service delivery.

According to sources familiar with the development, the appointment takes immediate effect, subject to statutory confirmation where required. Dr. Oseni, an experienced technocrat in the energy and utilities sector, is expected to strengthen regulatory oversight, drive investor confidence and support reforms aimed at stabilising electricity supply nationwide.

Ramat’s exit marks a leadership change as the Tinubu administration continues to review key agencies under the Ministry of Power. Stakeholders have expressed optimism that the new leadership at NERC will accelerate tariff reforms, grid stability initiatives and consumer protection frameworks critical to Nigeria’s power sector growth.
