…Review resumes of individuals to fill MDAs
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SFG), George Akume yesterday established an ad-hoc committee to review the resumes of individuals who will fill Board appointments after the dissolution of the Boards of agencies by President Bola Tinubu in June 2023.
Former governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu and a former governor of Jigawa State, Abubakar Badaru, are currently serving as co-chairs of the ad-hoc committee.
It was gathered that the two former governors were collaborating to ensure prompt submission of names in order to guarantee the appointment of new Board members in accordance with the “Renewed Hope” agenda. Although it is not yet known when the final list of names will be provided, a text from the SGF’s office revealed that Akume met with Bagudu and Badaru at his office in Abuja on Friday.
According to the reports, Tinubu announced the resignation of the Boards of the parastatals, institutions, agencies, and government-owned businesses through the SGF’s office.
Fourteen agencies named in the third schedule, Part 1, Section 153(i), of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria were, however, exempted from the directions, according to a statement signed by Willie Bassey, spokesperson for the SGF office.
