The statement reads: “The most senior director in the scheme has taken over the leadership of the corps in the capacity of overseer, pending the appointment of a substantive Director General by Mr. President.”

Mrs Uba might eventually become the first female DG to be appointed since the establishment of the scheme in 1973, if President Buhari picks her.
