President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received praise from the Northern Youth Council for Asiwaju (NYCA) for appointing Barrister Aminu Junaidu as the Investment and Securities Tribunal’s chairman and chief executive officer.
The nomination, which takes effect on September 18, 2025, has been seen as a calculated step to fortify Nigeria’s capital market and increase investor trust.
Junaidu, a former Zamfara State attorney general, will hold this important position for five years.
The NYCA emphasized that the President’s dedication to assigning highly skilled people to delicate government roles is reflected in Junaidu’s selection.
It is anticipated that Junaidu, a seasoned technocrat with a wealth of legal and administrative knowledge, will contribute professionalism and honesty to the tribunal.
According to the organization, this nomination will greatly further the Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to promote stability and economic progress.
The Investment and Securities Tribunal is essential to the settlement of conflicts in Nigeria’s capital market since it makes sure that investors’ complaints are promptly and equitably resolved.
It is expected that under Junaidu’s direction, the tribunal will operate more effectively, enhancing Nigeria’s standing as a secure and alluring investment destination.
“We sincerely commend President Tinubu for this thoughtful appointment,” said Comrade Usman Usman, President of the NYCA.
The President’s team’s thorough investigation and diligence in choosing one of Northern Nigeria’s brightest minds to head a delicate organization like the Investment and Securities Tribunal is further demonstrated by the appointment of Barrister Aminu Junaidu.
“The administration’s commitment to competence and excellence is reflected in this decision.”
“Junaidu is an experienced technocrat whose experience will surely add immense value to the Renewed Hope Agenda,” he continued. His appointment is a blatant indication that the president values merit in creating a successful Nigeria.
“As Mr. President continues to make decisions that advance our country, we reassure him of our unwavering support.”
The NYCA emphasized that Junaidu is uniquely qualified for the position due to his vast background in law and governance.
The group claimed that as a former Attorney-General, he showed a dedication to justice and equity, which are critical traits for directing the tribunal.
Both domestic and foreign investors now have more faith in Nigeria’s capital market as a result of his appointment.
It is anticipated that during his five-year term, Junaidu will implement reforms that will expedite the tribunal’s dispute settlement procedures.
According to the NYCA, this appointment supports the overarching objective of promoting economic resilience.
The NYCA is certain that under Junaidu’s leadership, the organization will be crucial in drawing in additional capital, which will support economic expansion and job creation.
The group asked all parties involved to help Junaidu in his new position.
Comrade Usman Usman added, “President Tinubu made a brilliant move by appointing Barrister Junaidu.
He is the ideal candidate to head the Investment and Securities Tribunal because of his flawless credentials and in-depth knowledge of the legal and financial systems.
“We have no doubt that under his leadership, investor confidence will grow and Nigeria’s reputation in the international financial community will improve.”
“The Northern Youth Council for Asiwaju is completely committed to supporting President Tinubu’s transformative agenda,” he added.
We urge all Nigerians to support this government and its nominees, such as Junaidu, who are ready to fulfill the promise of a revitalized Nigeria.
“We are steadfast in our commitment to the President’s vision for 2023 and beyond.”
Additionally, the NYCA stated that Northern Nigeria is proud of Junaidu’s selection, which highlights the region’s talent and competence.
The organization thinks that young Nigerians will be motivated to pursue success in their fields by his guidance.
