The Federal Government, FG, has debunked claims that it “sets up Panel to Reconstitute Boards of Parastatals.”
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, CON, debunked the claim lately in a press statement published on his Twitter handle @OfficialOSGF.
According to him, the allegation was made in the Punch newspaper Sunday report,
He said, “There is no truth in the story as published in the Sunday Punch, neither has the government set up any ad-hoc committee as alleged to review the resumes of individuals who would fill such board appointments as stated in the said publication.
“The visit of the two former Governors of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu and Jigawa State, Abubakar Badaru, to his office on Friday had nothing to do with such ad-hoc committee. It has everything to do with their recent appointment as ministers.”
