President Muhammadu Buhari has
ordered the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha to
review the recent appointment of dead people into the boards of Federal
Government agencies.
Buhari gave the directives
following the controversies that trailed the discovery of some dead people on
the list of those appointed and to ascertain all nominees that needed
replacement.
Garba Shehu, Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, in a chat with Punch on
Thursday, confirmed the President’s directive for a review of the entire list.
The Presidential aide said those
saddled with the responsibility were almost done and would soon present their
report to the President.
Shehu said, “Yes, I can confirm
to you that the process to replace the dead ones has started. We have listened
to the concerns raised.
“The entire list is being
scrutinised all over again. They have gone very far and they will be reporting
to the President very soon.
“Even after the list was
published, one nominee died. They need to take a second look at the entire
list.
“There were also complaints about
some persons who had left the party but made the list. We are looking at those
ones too with a view to replacing them.”
In all, 209 chairmen and 1,258
board members were announced.”
Following the appointment of 209
Chairmen and 1,258 members into Federal Government board agencies, some dead
people were later discovered to have made the list.
