By 2012, Nuquay served as the chair of the Ways, Means and Finance Committee, as well as a member of the following committees: Judiciary, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Human and Civil Rights, and Joint Legislative Modernization.[1] In 2014, Nuquay became a founding member of the People's Unification Party (PUP).[2] From October 2016 to 15 January 2018 Nuquay served as speaker of the House of Representatives of Liberia.[3]

Boakai was defeated by Coalition for Democratic Change nominee George Weah. In 2018, President Weah appointed Nuquay as Director General of the Liberia Civil Aviation Authority.[4][5] In 2020, Nuquay resigned from the Unity Party, rejoining the PUP.[6] He also resigned as Director General of the Liberia Civil Aviation Authority.[5] The same year, Nuquay ran for the Liberian Senate under the PUP banner, winning the Margibi seat.[7]
