President Bola Tinubu has appointed board chairmen for the National Examinations Council (NECO), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Federal Polytechnic N’yak-Shendam, Plateau, and the National Library of Nigeria.
Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, announced this on Wednesday in Abuja.
Tinubu appointed Prof. Modupe Adelabu as chairman of the Governing Board of NECO and retained the current registrar, Prof. Ibrahim Wushishi.
For the chairmanship of NBTE, the president appointed Prof. Babatunde Salako.
On April 10, Tinubu had reappointed the incumbent Executive Secretary of NBTE, Prof. Idris Bugaje, for a second and final five-year term.
The president also appointed Dr Bongfa Binfa as Rector of Federal Polytechnic N’yak-Shendam.
Binfa succeeds Dr. Mukaila Ya’u, whose tenure expired on March 16.
Tinubu approved Binfa’s appointment for a single term of five years following a public recruitment process.
Before the appointment, Binfa served as Deputy Rector (Academic) at the Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas, Bonny.
He was also a lecturer in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Federal Polytechnic Idah.
The president renewed the tenure of Prof. Chinwe Anunobi as Director-General and Chief Executive of the National Library for a final term of five years.
She was first appointed on Sept. 2, 2021.
According to the Presidency, Anunobi has led reforms aimed at repositioning the National Library as a technology-driven knowledge institution.
These include development of the National Repository of Nigeria, the National Virtual Library and other digital information systems.
The president said renewal of her tenure would ensure continuity of reforms and support completion of the National Library headquarters project in Abuja.
