Buhari terminates appointment of NPA managing director, reinstates Abdullahi

President Muhammadu Buhari has terminated the appointment of the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Alhaji Sanusi Ado Bayero.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

The presidential spokesman said that the termination of Bayero’s appointment was with immediate effect.

According to him, Bayero is to hand over the management of the NPA and all government property in his possession to Habibu Abdullahi who has been reinstated as Managing Director of the NPA by Buhari.

Adesina said President Buhari wished Bayero well in his future endeavours.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan had, in the twilight of his administration, replaced Abdullahi with Bayero as NPA Managing Director.
