President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Yusuf Abubakar, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Kaduna State, as the Chairman of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
Additionally, Musa Adar, another APC stalwart from Sokoto State, has been named the Chairman of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA).
These appointments were among several announced in a State House release issued on Friday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The appointments, covering board Chairpersons and Chief Executive Officers of 45 federal agencies, take immediate effect.
In the release, President Tinubu emphasised the non-executive nature of the board chairperson roles and instructed the appointees to avoid interference in the management of the organizations.
The appointments also include other key positions such as Dr. Kayode Opeifa as Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation and Raji Kolawole as Director-General of the National Board for Technology Incubation.
APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, was appointed Chairman of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
