Tinubu presides over FEC meeting, swears in Desmond Akawor as RMAFC commissioner

President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Desmond Akawor as a federal commissioner of the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

Tinubu swore in Akawor on Wednesday before the commencement of the first federal executive council (FEC) meeting of the year.

In November 2023, Tinubu appointed Akawor as federal commissioner of RMAFC following the death of Asondu Temple, the immediate past federal commissioner of the agency.

Temple, an ally of Rotimi Amaechi, a former minister of transportation, died on November 1, 2023.

In December 2023, the senate confirmed the appointment of Akawor.

Akawor is the chairman of the Rivers state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Meanwhile, Tinubu is currently presiding over the council meeting.
