Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) Chairman-designate Prof. Akintunde Akinwande may have declined the nomination offered him by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Akinwande’s absence at the Senate session yesterday stalled the screening of other nominees.

A competent source told The Nation Newspaper that Prof. Akinwande turned down the nomination “because he was not consulted before the nomination was made”.

Prof. Akinwande was doing a project at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

“We also learnt that enough consultation was not made before the man was nominated. We were informed that the nominee may have turned down his nomination,” the source said.
