President Bola Tinubu has appointed seven new leaders to head agencies and programmes under Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.
The appointments, announced Tuesday by Tinubu’s spokesman, Chief Ajuri, seek to make the nation’s social welfare initiatives and humanitarian efforts more effective.
Dr. Badamasi Lawal, a former Katsina State commissioner with a doctorate in education, will lead the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) as its Chief Executive Officer.
The National Social Safety-Net Coordinating Office will be managed by Ms. Funmilola Olotu, the Senior Special Assistant to the Lagos State Governor on state lotteries.
Other appointments include Ms. Aishat Alubankudi as Programme Manager for the Grant for Vulnerable Groups, and Princess Aderemi Adebowale, who will oversee the Home Grown School Feeding programme.
Mr. Abdullahi Alhassan Imam, with a background in accountancy and banking, will manage the National Cash Transfer Office.
The National Commission for People with Disabilities will be led by Mr. Ayuba Gufwan, a lawyer and advocate for disabled individuals.
Ms. Lami Binta Adamu Bello, with experience in public administration, has been named Director General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons.
Ajuri said President Tinubu expectats the appointees to discharge their duties with ” utmost integrity and diligence so as to ensure that Nigerians, especially vulnerable groups, are the exclusive and direct beneficiaries of his administration’s reconfigured welfare programmes.”
The appointments come on the heels of nationwide protests against economic hardship by citizens.
