President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the re-constitution of members of the governing boards of parastatals within the purview of the Ministry Transportation.
In a press release on Wednesday April 6, 2022 signed by Director of Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Transport, Eric Ojiekwe, the removed Chairman, Board of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Akin Ricketts was returned to NPA while, Mr Emmanuel Adesoye has been finally removed.
Recall that the initial removal of Adesoye by the minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, had led to a board room war between the minister and NPA, former MD, Hadiza Bala-Usman.
