President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has written to the Senate seeking the confirmation of Taiwo Oyedele as Minister of State for Finance.

The letter was read during Tuesday’s plenary by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.

Before his nomination, Oyedele, who hails from Ikaram in Akoko, Ondo State, served as chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, where he played a key role in restructuring Nigeria’s tax system.

The 50-year-old economist, accountant and public policy expert obtained a Higher National Diploma in Accountancy and Finance from Yaba College of Technology. He later earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University.

He also completed executive education programmes at the London School of Economics, Yale University, the Gordon Institute of Business Science, and the Harvard Kennedy School.

Oyedele spent 22 years at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), joining the firm in 2001 and rising to become Fiscal Policy Partner and Africa Tax Leader.

He currently serves as a professor at Babcock University and a visiting scholar at the Lagos Business School.

In a separate letter, Tinubu also asked the Senate to screen and confirm Magnus Abe as chairman of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) following the resignation of Gbenga Komolafe.

The President further nominated Engineer Paul Yaro Jezhi, a former chairman of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria in Kaduna State, and Mr Sunday Adebayo Babalola, a former deputy director at the Department of Petroleum Resources, as non-executive commissioners.
