President Bola Tinubu has appointed Dr. Ikye Orikpo from Delta State as the new Chairman of the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital.
This was disclosed by Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja.
“Orikpo joins the new board chairpersons announced earlier today,” Onanuga stated.
The presidential aide also addressed errors in the earlier announcement of board appointments, providing clarifications on two specific cases.
“Duro Meseko from Kogi State is the Chairman of the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute. What appears to be a duplication has been corrected,” Onanuga explained.
He further clarified the appointment of Mr. Yahaya Wurno from Sokoto as the Chairman of the Sokoto-Rima River Basin Development Authority, noting an earlier mix-up. “Mr. Yahaya Wurno, not Ambassador Wurno, is the Chairman of Sokoto-Rima River Basin Development Authority. The mix-up is regretted,” he added.
