President Bola Tinubu has nominated Mr. Louis Odion and Kano-born grassroots politician Ummusalma Isiyaku Rabiu as Executive Commissioners of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
This was contained in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, who said that Odion will serve as Executive Commissioner, Operations, while Rabiu will oversee Corporate Services.
The appointments are however, subject to confirmation by the Senate in line with the provisions of the FCCPC Act, 2018.

Similarly, Rabiu, 35, is the founder of the Usir Foundation, a non-profit organisation focused on education, skills development, and humanitarian aid for underprivileged communities.
With a degree in Business Administration, Rabiu has been an advocate for inclusive governance and political participation of women and youth in Kano State.
