Confusion As Tinubu Appoints 2 Heads For 1 Agency

President Bola Tinubu had initially appointed Aliyu Tajudeen as the Managing Director and CEO of UNRBDA approximately two months ago.

This appointment was officially communicated through a letter dated October 30, 2024, and signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume.

The letter, referenced as SGF.51/S.4/T/368, stated that Tajudeen’s appointment would take effect from October 29, 2024, for a four-year term.

However, in a surprising development, President Tinubu also announced the appointment of another individual, Dangajere Shuaibu Bawa Jaja, as the Managing Director of the same authority.

This appointment was announced in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday.

Jaja’s appointment was made alongside the appointments of six executive directors for UNRBDA.

Political analysts in Kaduna State have raised questions, noting that the name Dangajere Shuaibu Bawa Jaja does not seem to correspond with either Shuaibu Bawa Jaja, a former chairman of Kudan Local Government Area, or Mr. Dangajere, a former chairman of Kajuru Local Government Area in the state.
