‘Buhari to make full board appointments January’

The Presidency has assured that President Muhammadu Buhari will make appointments into all boards by January 2017.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu gave the assurance in a statement yesterday.

A similar pledge was made by an official at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on December 28, 2015. But One year after, most boards of federal government agencies are still without boards.

Shehu, who admitted that the delay in appointment of boards had been an issue of interest to members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) said “the process will be fully back on track at the beginning of the New Year.

He said “You know that the reconstitution began methodically from sector by sector. You should expect that to resume at the beginning of the New Year. The president has given directions on what to do.”
