Prof. Akintunde Akinwande, the Chairman-designate for the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission, has rejected his nomination by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The nominee, who was expected to appear before Senate Committee on Power for screening, was conspicuously absent from the scheduled screening.
The Senate Committee members, who were ready to screen the nominees for the NERC Board, immediately called it off upon discovering that Akinwande was absent.
