The President and Commander in
Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency,
Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved the constitution of the Governing Boards
of Agencies and Parastatals, under some Ministries, as well as the appointment
of eminently qualified Nigerians to fill the Board positions, numbering 209
Chairmen and 1258 members.
Mr. President considered the
approval for the constitution of the Boards as well as the appointments, very
necessary, so as to provide a proper Governance and oversight structure for
Government Agencies and Parastatals. The constitution of the boards with the
appointments, is a demonstration of this Government’s efforts aimed at building
strong institutions of Governance, and by extension, improving the quality of
Policy formulation and supervision.
While these appointments
represent a substantial number of hitherto pending board appointments, some
more appointments are still being processed and will be released in due course.
The appointments take immediate
effect and Honourable Ministers are advised to inaugurate the boards after
letters of appointment have been issued.
