President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday swore in two new Federal Commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC ) and six Federal Commissioners of the National Population Commission (NPC) following their confirmation by the National Assembly.
The swearing-in ceremony marks another step in the administration’s efforts to strengthen key national institutions responsible for fiscal management, revenue allocation, and population administration.
Furthermore, President Tinubu urged the newly appointed commissioners to discharge their responsibilities with integrity, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to the national interest.
According to the President, effective institutions remain essential for achieving sustainable economic growth, transparent governance, and inclusive national development.
Strengthening Key National Institutions
The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission plays a vital role in Nigeria’s fiscal framework by advising on revenue allocation, monitoring revenue accruals, and promoting prudent fiscal management.
Furthermore, the National Population Commission is responsible for population data management, demographic planning, and civil registration, all of which are critical to effective policymaking and national development.
President Tinubu noted that both institutions perform strategic functions that directly influence government planning, resource distribution, and the delivery of public services.
He therefore encouraged the commissioners to approach their assignments with diligence and a strong sense of responsibility.
A Call for Integrity and Excellence
The President reminded the new commissioners that public office carries enormous responsibility and requires transparency, accountability, and dedication to service.
Furthermore, he emphasized that Nigerians expect public institutions to operate efficiently while delivering measurable results that improve governance and national development.
According to Tinubu, integrity and professionalism must remain the guiding principles of every public servant entrusted with national responsibilities.
He urged the commissioners to uphold these values throughout their tenure.
Supporting National Development
President Tinubu reiterated that strong institutions form the foundation of good governance and sustainable development.
Furthermore, accurate population data and sound fiscal management are essential for effective planning, equitable resource allocation, and evidence-based policymaking.
He expressed confidence that the newly inaugurated commissioners would contribute meaningfully to strengthening institutional capacity and improving public confidence in government agencies.
Their expertise and commitment, he said, will support the administration’s broader reform agenda.
Working for the Nigerian People
The President encouraged the commissioners to work collaboratively with relevant stakeholders while remaining focused on delivering quality service to Nigerians.
Furthermore, he stressed the importance of innovation, efficiency, and continuous improvement in carrying out their constitutional mandates.
He noted that responsive institutions help build trust between government and citizens while promoting national stability and economic progress.
Consequently, the commissioners were urged to place the interests of the Nigerian people at the centre of every decision they make.
Advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda
President Tinubu reaffirmed that his administration remains committed to strengthening governance through capable leadership and effective public institutions.
Furthermore, appointments into strategic agencies reflect the government’s determination to build institutions that support economic reforms, improve service delivery, and enhance national development.
He called on the new commissioners to contribute actively to the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda by promoting transparency, accountability, and excellence in their respective organisations.
A New Phase of Service
The inauguration of the new commissioners marks the beginning of another chapter for both the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission and the National Population Commission.
Furthermore, their appointments provide an opportunity to strengthen institutional effectiveness and improve the delivery of critical national responsibilities.
Therefore, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu expressed confidence that the commissioners will justify the trust placed in them by serving with dedication, integrity, and professionalism while contributing to Nigeria’s continued growth, good governance, and sustainable development.
