Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has nominated a chairman and two commissioners of the newly established Adamawa State Electricity Regulatory Commission for confirmation by the Adamawa State House of Assembly.

Fintiri asked the Assembly to confirm Bako Alhaji Rabiu as chairman of the Adamawa State Electricity Regulatory Commission, as well as Shanti Victoria Sashi and Adamu Jibrilla as commissioners of the commission.

This is contained in a letter forwarded to the Assembly by the governor, requesting lawmakers to approve the nominees to steer the affairs of the commission towards improving electricity supply in the state.
