“The President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved the appointment of Mr. Mohammed Bello-Koko as the substantive Managing Director, Nigeria Ports Authority,” the statement read.
The statement also added that before his appointment, Bello-Koko was the Executive Director, Finance and Administration of the authority.
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari, last year, approved the immediate suspension of the former Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Hadiza Usman.
The Federal Government also started a probe of the suspended Managing Director over alleged non-remittance of over N165 billion operating surplus to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) by the NPA management under her leadership.
