President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Professor Attahiru Muhammadu Jega, former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), as adviser and coordinator of the Presidential Livestock Reform.<\/p>\n
President Tinubu announced the appointment Friday, hoping to drive meaningful progress in the livestock sector and further strengthen national development efforts.<\/p>\n
Jega, former vice chancellor of Bayero University, co-chaired the Presidential Livestock Committee with President Tinubu.<\/p>\n
The committee delivered comprehensive recommendations that underscored sustainable livestock reforms. One recommendation was the creation of the Livestock Ministry, which now has a minister.<\/p>\n
Jega, 68, is a member of the International Elections Advisory Council and the pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Sa\u2019adatu Rimi University of Education in Kano State.<\/p>\n
He served as the chairman of INEC between 2010 and 2015.<\/p>\n
His appointment as special adviser to President Tinubu will reinforce the gains of the presidential committee and ensure the continued momentum of the reforms already in motion.<\/p>\n
