The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has appointed Ben Iloanusi as its Acting Managing Director following the completion of Fidet Okhiria’s tenure.
According to a statement released on Sunday by Yakub Mahmood, NRC’s Deputy Director of Public Relations, Okhiria completed his second four-year term on October 18 and has officially handed over to Iloanusi.
Iloanusi, who joined the NRC in 2011, is the corporation’s most senior Executive Director and has served as Deputy Director of Procurement since 2019. He holds a degree in Political Science from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in International Management from South Bank University, London.
In his farewell address, Okhiria expressed gratitude to NRC staff for their support during his tenure and encouraged them to extend the same cooperation to Iloanusi. “I urge the management and staff to give the Acting Managing Director the same support and understanding,” he said.
Iloanusi also called for the continued support of the NRC staff and welcomed constructive feedback to help the organisation grow.
