JULY 16, 2015 : OLALEKAN ADETAYO

President Muhammadu Buhari has
approved the dissolution of the Governing
Boards of all federal parastatals, agencies
and institutions.
According to a statement by the Special
Adviser to the President on Media and
Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the dissolution
takes effect from Thursday.
Adesina said until the boards are
reconstituted, Chief Executive Officers of
the affected parastatals, agencies and
institutions are to refer all matters
requiring the attention of their boards to
the President through the Permanent
Secretaries of their supervising ministries.
He said the dissolution does not affect
Federal Executive Bodies listed in the
1999 Constitution.
He however said the dissolution order
covers administrative or technical
committees and other similar organs
established by the now dissolved boards.
