Tinubu Appoints Dr. Ikye Orikpo as University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Chair
President Bola Tinubu has named 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.
According to Onanuga, “Orikpo joins the new board chairpersons announced earlier today.”
The presidential aide also clarified certain issues regarding the list of board appointments.
He stated, “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.”
Additionally, he explained, “Mr. Yahaya Wurno from Sokoto, not Ambassador Wurno, is the Chairman of Sokoto-Rima River Basin Development Authority. The mix-up is regretted.”
The new appointments reflect the government’s commitment to enhancing the efficiency of critical institutions in the country.
