The nominations of a new Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) and new aides on senate matters and livestock development have been confirmed by President Bola Tinubu.
Presidential spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale made separate remarks on Saturday that included their appointments.
The nomination of Mr. Cornelius Oluwasegun Adebayo as the new Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) has been authorised by President Bola Tinubu. In addition to being a specialist in community and social development, Mr. Adebayo is an engineer, the media assistant stated.
Regarding the same subject, Tinubu designated Idris Ajimobi as the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Livestock Development (Office of the President).
This appointment comes on the heels of the inauguration of the Presidential Committee on Implementation of Livestock Reforms and the establishment of a new Ministry of Livestock Development.
“The President seeks to harness and develop Nigeria’s agricultural potential, including the animal husbandry ecosystem, to spur sustainable economic growth, create industries and jobs, and eradicate violent conflicts between farmers and herders over time,” Ngelale said.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu named Senator Bashir Lado Mohammed as the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters (Office of the President).
A politician and businessman, Mohammed hails from Kano State. He is also a former senator (Kano Central) and an ex-director-general of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
“The President expects that the new Special Adviser on Senate Matters will deploy his immense experience for enhanced synergy between the Executive and the Legislature and for improved government performance,” the presidential spokesman said.
