President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of board chairpersons for 42 federal organizations alongside key executives for other institutions.
The appointments were announced in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
The statement mentioned the appointment of Dr. Kayode Isiak Opeifa as managing director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation and Raji Kazeem Kolawole as director-general of the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI).
