Three weeks after President Bola Tinubu announced the appointment of Dr Abdulrazak Namdas as Director-General of the Border Communities Development Agency, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has been accused of withholding his appointment letter.
The development has created a leadership tussle at the agency as the immediate past chief executive, Dakorinama George, continues to perform official duties while implementation of the presidential directive stalled.
The Presidency had, on June 26, announced the appointment of Namdas, a former spokesperson for the House of Representatives, through a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement expressly said Namdas was appointed to replace George, ‘who resigned to contest for an elective post in his home state,’ adding that the appointment took immediate effect.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Abdulrazak Sa’ad Namdas as the new Director General of the Border Communities Development Agency.
