President Bola Tinubu presented Amupitan as the nominee to fill the vacant position, following Prof. Mahmood Yakubu’s exit.
Yakubu served from 2015 till October 2025.
Tinubu informed the council that Amupitan is the first person from Kogi, North-Central state, nominated to occupy the position and is apolitical.
Council members unanimously supported the nomination, with Governors Usman Ododo describing Amupitan as a man of integrity.
