Four days before he hands over to Nigeria’s new leader, President Muhammadu Buhari has announced new appointments.
On Thursday, President Buhari approved the appointment of Garzali Abubakar as the Executive Secretary of the National Agricultural Development Fund, a presidential spokesperson said.
“The president also approved the appointment of the following as Chairman and members of the Board of the organisation,” Garba Shehu wrote.
Those appointed include Aduke Hussain as Chairman, Hussaini Mohammed (North Central Representative), Mohammed Umar (North West Representative), Abdulsalam Ahmed (North East Representative), Stella Uzokwe (South East Representative), Stephen Ikata (South-South Representative) and Olufunlayo Oluwole Faloye (South West Representative).
The latest appointments are the latest in a series of actions taken by the outgoing president a few days before his exit; actions criticised by observers.
