President Jonathan Sacks Another Political Appointee



According to the Africa Independent Television, President Goodluck Jonathan has around 1 pm sacked Executive Secretary, Nigeria Investment Promotion Council (NIPC), Saratu Umar.

The president immediately replaced the out-going Saratu with Uju Hassan-Baba who will be working as acting Executive Secretary.

Since Buhari has been declared winner of the 2015 presidential elections, President Jonathan has gone on a sacking and appointment spree.

The outgoing president sacked the Inspector-General of Police, Sulieman Abba and appointed in his place Solomon Arase. Jonathan also sacked the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Mr. Abdullahi and has approved the appointment of Sanusi Lamido Ado Bayero.

Jonathan has also sacked Gbenga Elegbeleye, the Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC). The president meanwhile appointed close ally, Peter Obi as the new Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
