President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Enugu-born politician, Hon. Ginika Florence Tor, as a member of the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC), representing the South-East, as part of a fresh round of 26 appointments into 10 federal government agencies and commissions.
The appointment, which takes immediate effect, was announced on Monday in a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.
Tor’s appointment places her among the new members tasked with shaping policies on salaries, wages and income administration for public sector workers across the country.
Before her latest appointment, Tor served as the Federal Commissioner representing Enugu State at the Federal Character Commission (FCC) from 2020 to 2025, following her appointment by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
She currently serves as the Principal Liaison Officer to the Deputy National Chairman (South) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Benjamin Obiora Nwoye, a position she assumed in April 2026.
As a member of the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, Tor will serve alongside Dr. Mai Adamu Yau of Borno State, Engr. Lawrence Okoh of Edo State and Bello Morenike Iyabode of Kogi State.
President Tinubu also reconstituted the leadership of the commission by appointing retired Major General Junaid Bindawa as Chairman.
Other appointments into the commission include Dr. Ogbole Ene Lilian (Benue), Oladele Olatubosun (Oyo) and Yakubu Umar Barde (Kaduna) as commissioners, while former member of the House of Representatives, Olajumoke Okoya-Thomas, was named Secretary.
Beyond the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, the President approved several other strategic appointments across key federal agencies.
Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, was appointed Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), while Abba Abubakar Aliyu retained his position as the agency’s Director-General.
