Jonathan fires BPE boss, Onagoruwa

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday terminated the appointment of the Director-General of Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) Mrs. Bolanle Onagoruwa. The disengagement was contained in a two-paragraph statement by the Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to the Vice President, Umar Sani.

The statement reads in part, “The Director General of the Bureau for Public Enterprises Ms. Bolanle Onagoruwa, has been relieved of her appointment with immediate effect. “She is to hand over to the most Senior Director in the Bureau, Mr. Benjamin Ezra Dikki who is to hold the position in an acting capacity. “Mr. President extends his sincere appreciation to Mrs. Bolanle Onogoruwa for her services to the nation and wishes her the best in her future endeavours.” It would be recalled that few months back, the two chambers of the National Assembly called for her removal over some bureaucratic irregularities in the privatisation process.

More coming soon!
