ISLAMABAD: Over a year after National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) chief had resigned, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday appointed Usman Yousaf Mubeen as the new chairman of the authority, Radio Pakistan reported.

According to an interior ministry spokesperson, the appointment was made following recommendations by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar. The appointment was made under the Nadra Ordinance.

Before the appointment, Mubeen has been working as Nadra’s chief technology officer.

Last year, then chairman Tariq Malik had resigned citing personal reasons.

Malik's resignation came after a period of controversy and conflict with the government. He had been sacked by the government in December 2013, but the Nadra chairman sought intervention from the Islamabad High Court which restored him.
