The president has approved the appointments of new aides on livestock development, senate matters, and a new Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA).
Their appointments were contained in separate Saturday statements by presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale.
“President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mr. Cornelius Oluwasegun Adebayo as the new Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA). Mr. Adebayo is an engineer and also a community and social development expert,” the media aide said.
In the same matter, Tinubu appointed Idris Ajimobi as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Livestock Development (Office of the President).
This appointment comes on the heels of the inauguration of the Presidential Committee on Implementation of Livestock Reforms and the establishment of a new Ministry of Livestock Development.
“The President seeks to harness and develop Nigeria’s agricultural potential, including the animal husbandry ecosystem, to spur sustainable economic growth, create industries and jobs, and eradicate violent conflicts between farmers and herders over time,” Ngelale said.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu named Senator Bashir Lado Mohammed as the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters (Office of the President).
A politician and businessman, Mohammed hails from Kano State. He is also a former senator (Kano Central) and an ex-director-general of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
“The President expects that the new Special Adviser on Senate Matters will deploy his immense experience for enhanced synergy between the Executive and the Legislature and for improved government performance,” the presidential spokesman said.
