29th April, 2015
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has approved the appointment of Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Ado Bayero as the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
Alhaji Sanusi, a lawyer, from Kano State takes over from Mallam Habib Abdullahi who has been sacked.
The appointment of the new NPA Managing Director takes effect from tomorrow, Thursday, April 30 2015.
President Jonathan thanks the outgoing Managing Director for his services and wishes well in his future endeavours.
It would be recalled that the Peoples Democratic Party wrongfully congratulated Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Ado Bayero as Emir of Kano after the demise of his father, Alhaji Ado Bayero.
But the kingmakers chose former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as new Emir of Kano.
