13th August, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari has terminated the appointment of the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Alhaji Sanusi Ado Bayero.
The termination of Alhaji Bayero’s appointment is with immediate effect.
He is to hand over the management of the NPA and all government property in his possession to Habibu Abdullahi who has been reinstated as Managing Director of the NPA by President Buhari.
President Buhari wishes Alhaji Bayero well in his future endeavours.
It would be recalled that former Nigerian president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan appointed Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Ado Bayero as the Managing Director of the NPA on 29 April, 2015.
Sanusi, a lawyer, from Kano State took over from Mallam Habib Abdullahi who was sacked by Jonathan.
It would also be noted that Ado Bayero lost the bid to succeed his father as Emir of Kano to former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Lamido Sanusi.
The Peoples Democratic Party also wrongfully congratulated Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Ado Bayero as Emir of Kano after the demise of his father, Alhaji Ado Bayero.
But the kingmakers chose Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as Emir of Kano.
