The Presidency has made clarification on the appointment of Engineer Mansur Ahmed into the Board of Board of Trustees of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund.
In its statement made available to Freelanews on Wednesday, the President’s Spokesman, Garba Shehu said Mansur Ahmed would be representing organised labour on the board.
In another statement today, the presidential spokesman said it was an error, explaining that Ahmed will instead represent Organised Private Sector.
The terse statement said, “In our statement yesterday on the above subject, we inadvertently stated that Engr. Mansur Ahmed is to represent the Organised Labour on the Board.
“He is actually to represent Organised Private Sector and not Labour being Executive Director, Dangote Group and President, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN).
“The inadvertence is regretted.”
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday approved the appointment of retired Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, as Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund.
The Secretary and members include:
Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto – Secretary; Nnamdi Maurice Mbaeri – Representing Ministry of Police Affairs; Inspector-General of Police – Representing Nigeria Police Force; Usman Bilkisu – Representing Ministry of Justice; Ben Akabueze (DG, Budget and National Planning) – Representing Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning; Mansur Ahmed – Representing Organised Labour; Michael Bamidele Adebiyi – Representing Civil Society Group.
