President Bola Tinubu is set to fill no fewer than 2,000 vacant positions following Monday’s dissolution of governing boards of over 153 agencies, parastatals, institutions, and government-owned companies.
Even if people are jostling for appointments, I don’t think that will be considered something that is paramount or fundamental. The president is not going to be stampeded, I suppose, into submitting to pressure.
He said, “The elephant is big enough for all members, and indeed Nigerians, to have a share of the renewed hope in due course.” “The President I’m sure is aware of the need to declare an emergency in the power sector to enable him to renew the hopes of all in a prosperous and productive Nigeria. In line with the above aspiration, I believe and rightly so that the president will consider expertise, experience, and capacity in his appointments to constitute a new board for the dissolved TCN to achieve success in reinvigorating the economy of Nigeria in which energy sector is key and critical,’’ James submitted.
“Also, we would need those who understand the commercial aspect of the business so that we can have good bargaining power in terms of what we are releasing to the distribution companies for more collection through the market operator. But the major work is not with TCN. “What we expect is that competent people should be appointed into those boards; that is the general expectation of Nigerians and we believe that the president will do the needful. We expect that round pegs should be put in round holes, competent individuals with a track record of success or achievement. They should be appointed as ministers among others,” he suggested.
On her part, the Executive Director of the Centre for Democracy and Development Idayat Hassan, said she expected the appointments to be “business unusual”, adding that appointments must be competence and integrity based.
