The federal government at the weekend appointed a new Executive Secretary (ES) for the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) to place the former official recently fired over allegations of mismanagement.
Zainab Samshuna Ahmed’s appointment was directed by the Presidency following her appointment into the NEITI National Stakeholders Working Group (NSWG) last August.
NEITI’s Director of Communication, Orji Ogbonnaya Orji, said the appointment, conveyed in a letter by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Yayale Ahmed, is for a single term of five years.
Mrs Ahmed, a former Managing Director, Kaduna Industrial and Finance Company (KIFC), succeeds Haruna Yunusa Saeed, who was sacked “in the public interest” in the wake of allegations of fraud and incompetence levelled against him.
