President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked Patrick Ziakede Akpobolokemi as Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
His sack takes immediate effect, a Presidency statement said on Thursday.
Akpobolokemi's appointment by former President Goodluck Jonathan was influenced by former militant leader, Chief Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo)
The statement said Akpobolokemi was directed to “hand over the management of NIMASA and all government property in his possession to the most senior officer in the agency who will remain in charge until a new Director-General is appointed.”
The President also approved the dissolution of the Governing Boards of Federal agencies,parastastals and institutions.
The dissolution is with immediate effect, Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, said.
“Until the boards are reconstituted, Chief Executive Officers of the affected parastatals, agencies and institutions are to refer all matters requiring the attention of their boards to the President, through the Permanent Secretaries of their supervising ministries.
“While the dissolution does not affect Federal Executive Bodies listed in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it covers administrative or technical committees and other similar organs established by the now dissolved boards,” the statement added.
