Omidiran, a former House of Representatives member, succeeds Muheeba Dankaka, whose tenure was dogged by controversy.

In a statement released by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President also appointed Mohammed Musa as the Secretary of the commission and retains Kayode Oladele from Ogun State as a commissioner.

Oladele, a former member of the House of Representatives, was first appointed to the FCC in 2024 and served as Acting Chairman following the expiration of Dankaka’s first-term tenure.
