In an unexpected development on Thursday, President Bola Tinubu issued a directive to revoke the nomination of Engr Imam Kashim Imam. Imam had previously been selected to assume the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
A statement released by Ajuri Ngelale, the Media Aide to the President, confirmed the immediate withdrawal of Imam from this appointment. Notably, this directive does not impact other appointments to the board and executive management team of FERMA.
It’s worth mentioning that the Federal Government had faced criticism for appointing Imam, a figure believed to be just 24 years old, to the FERMA board. The specific reasons behind the presidency’s decision to withdraw the nomination have not been disclosed.
In this surprising turn of events, President Bola Tinubu’s administration has reversed the appointment of Engr Imam Kashim Imam as Chairman of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) Board.
The withdrawal was announced by Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s Media Aide, and is effective immediately. While there had been public backlash regarding Imam’s appointment, the specific reasons for this decision remain undisclosed. It’s important to note that other appointments within FERMA’s board and executive management team remain unaffected by this directive.
