Sacking:Buhari dissolves boards of parastatals, agencies, institutions

Firstclass newsline gathered that President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday
approved the dissolution of the Governing Boards of federal
parastatals, agencies and institutions.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
Until the reconstitution of the boards, the statement said, the chief
executive officers of the affected parastatals, agencies and
institutions are to refer all matters requiring the attention of their
boards to the President, through the Permanent Secretaries of their
supervising ministries.
It also said that the dissolution does not affect Federal Executive
Bodies listed in the 1999 Constitution.
The dissolution, it said, covers administrative or technical
committees and other similar organs established by the now dissolved
boards.
Also yesterday, the President terminated the appointment of Mr.
Patrick Ziakede Akpobolokemi as the Director-General of the Nigerian
Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
No reason was given for Mr. Akpobolokemi's sack.
But a statement signed by Mr. Adesina said that the termination takes
immediate effect.
According to the statement, Akpobolokemi has been directed to hand
over the management of NIMASA and all government property in his
possession to the most senior officer in the agency.
The officer will remain in charge pending the appointment of
Akpobolokemi's replacement.
The former NIMASA chief was reappointed for another four-year after
the expiration of his first mandate in October 2014 by former
President Goodluck Jonathan.
