President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved changes in two key federal agencies – the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) and the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI).
He redeployed and appointed officials to strengthen transparency, accountability and effective service delivery in strategic sectors of government.
The changes were contained in a statement issued yesterday by the Director Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Segun Imohiosen.
