President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the immediate dissolution of the governing boards of all federal government parastatals, agencies, institutions, and government-owned companies in the exercise of their constitutional powers and in the public interest.

This is contained in a statement released Monday night by Mr. Willie Bassey, the Director, Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF).

It states that, “The dissolution does not, however, affect boards, commissions, and councils listed in the Third Schedule, Part 1, Section 153 (i) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.

“In view of this development and until such a time as new boards are constituted, the Chief Executive Officers of the parastatals, agencies, institutions, and government-owned companies are directed to refer matters requiring the attention of their boards to the President through the Permanent Secretaries of their respective supervisory ministries and offices.

“Permanent Secretaries are also directed to route such correspondences to Mr. President through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

“Consequently, all ministries, departments, and agencies are to ensure compliance with the provisions of this directive, which took effect on Friday, June 16, 2023.

“Permanent Secretaries are particularly directed to inform the Chief Executive Officers of the affected agencies under the supervision of their respective ministries or offices for immediate compliance.”

DailyNews24 reports that this is coming hours after the President sacked all the nation’s service chiefs and named their replacements.
