The appointment of Ambassador Desmond Akawor as a Federal Commissioner of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, or RMAFC, has been approved by President Bola Tinubu.
Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s Special Advisor on Media and Publicity, stated in a statement on Thursday in Abuja that the Senate’s confirmation was still awaited for the appointment.
The new appointment came about as a result of the death early this month of the RMAFC Federal Commissioner from the Rivers, Asondu Temple.
