Tinubu had earlier set up the exchange’s board in April this year, with Dalhatu Abubakar named as chairman alongside other non-executive directors.
The presidency said it expects the new appointee to bring experience and professionalism to the role.
Her mandate includes strengthening the exchange’s operations and supporting government efforts to deepen commodity trading, expand market access for farmers and investors, and stimulate economic growth.
The NCX operates under the federal ministry and plays a central role in structuring trade for agricultural and solid mineral commodities across the country.
