President Bola Tinubu has formally requested the Senate to confirm Professor Yusuf Mohammed Yusuf as a Commissioner of the Nigerian Law Reform Commission (NLRC).
The request was contained in a letter addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, which was read during Wednesday’s plenary session.
The President stated that the nomination is made in accordance with Section 21 of the Nigerian Law Reform Commission Act, 2022.

President Tinubu clarified that Professor Yusuf’s nomination is intended to replace Professor Fatima Alkali, who was initially nominated on June 2, 2025, but did not appear before the Senate for screening and confirmation.
In his letter, President Tinubu expressed his hope for an “expeditious” consideration and confirmation of Professor Yusuf’s nomination.
Senate President Akpabio has since referred the nomination to the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters for further legislative action.
The committee is expected to review the nomination and present its recommendations to the Senate in due course.
