According to a statement issued by Mr. Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, the decision to sack the two chief executive officers was in line with the plans to restructure and reposition critical agencies of the federal government.
The statement said that the aim was to ensure that the rights of Nigerian consumers are protected and that the key institutions that enable economic growth are enhanced.
The statement, which was titled ‘President Tinubu dismisses two chief executive officers’, did not give any specific reasons for the dismissals of Oko and Irukera.
However, it hinted that the President was not satisfied with their performance and expected better results from their successors.
The sacking of Oko and Irukera came on the heels of another major change in the government, as the President Tinubu suspended the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, over allegations of misappropriating N585 million.
The suspension was announced earlier on Monday, following widespread public outcry and protests over the alleged fraud.
