President Bola Tinubu brought in Aminu Yusuf to run Nigeria's National Population Commission during a cabinet meeting. The Senate had already given Yusuf the green light back in October, and he got sworn in alongside two other commission members, like Tonga Betara from Yobe state. Five permanent secretaries also took their oaths and signed paperwork at the same ceremony.
The population commission handles census stuff, birth and death records, and all the demographic info the government uses for planning. Yusuf is replacing Nasir Isa Kwara, who had been running things since 2020. The Federal Executive Council took a moment of silence for Joy Ogwu, a former foreign affairs minister who passed away in October at 79, before getting into their business.
