Buhari Names New FERMA Governing Board Chair
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the dissolution of the board of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
Femi Adesina, presidential spokesperson, in a statement on Thursday, said Buhari also approved the appointment of James Akintola as the board chairman of FERMA to succeed Tunde Lemo.
Adesina said Lemo had earlier voluntarily stepped down from the position.
“Other members of the old board have their terms renewed,” the statement reads.
“Lemo conveys his appreciation to President Buhari for the opportunity given him to serve the country.”
The new FERMA chairman had occupied a corresponding position in many states before his new appointment.
Akintola had been senior special assistant, infrastructure in Ogun state and consultant to the Kwara government on infrastructure.
