President Bola Tinubu has approved a sweeping reshuffle of federal leadership, appointing 26 officials to key positions across 10 government agencies and commissions.
The most prominent appointment is that of Ayo Fayose, the former governor of Ekiti State, who has been named chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA).
The appointments were confirmed by Channels Television, which reported that the president's approval covers a broad range of federal roles.

While the full list of 26 appointees spans multiple sectors, the selection of Fayose for the REA chairmanship is likely to draw significant scrutiny from investors and policy watchers.
The REA plays a pivotal role in Nigeria's energy transition and rural development goals, making its leadership a matter of strategic importance for the country's economic outlook.
