President Tinubu Appoints Dr. Ikye Orikpo as Chairman of University of Abuja Teaching Hospital
President Bola Tinubu has appointed Dr. Ikye Orikpo from Delta State as the new chairman of the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital. This appointment is part of a larger announcement regarding the chairpersons of various federal organizations.
In a statement released on Thursday by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Tinubu noted, “Orikpo joins the new board chairpersons announced earlier today.”
The presidency later addressed discrepancies in the earlier list of appointees. It clarified that Hon. Duro Meseko from Kogi State will serve as the chairman of the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute, correcting what was identified as a duplication.
Additionally, the statement specified that Hon. Yahaya Bello Wurno from Sokoto, rather than Ambassador Wurno, is the chairman of the Sokoto-Rima River Basin Development Authority. The presidency expressed regret for these errors.
According to PUNCH Online, Tinubu has approved the appointments of board chairpersons and Chief Executive Officers for 42 federal organizations. Notable appointees include Abdullahi Ganduje as chairman of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Magnus Abe for the National Agency for the Great Green Wall, and Tokunbo Afikuyomi for the National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion.
