President Bola Tinubu has directed the withdrawal of the nomination of 24-year-old Imam Kashim Imam to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
This is contained in a statement by Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, on Thursday in Abuja.
He said that the President’s withdrawal of the above-mentioned nomination is directed with immediate effect.
Ngelale said that the withdrawal would not, however, affect other appointments to the Board and Executive Management team of FERMA.
The president appointed the 24-year-old “for a renewable term of four (4) years, in accordance with Section 2(3) of the FERMA Amendment Act, 2007”.
The appointment was said to have generated concerns, with many saying he lacked the requisite experience for the job.
Although no reason was given by the presidency for the decision.
