Five out of the 26 heads of government
agencies sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari
on Monday have refused to vacate their offices 48
hours after they were removed, reports Daily Trust.
The five have defied government’s directive asking
them to handover to the most senior officers in their
establishments pending the appointment of
substantive chief executives.
Their refusal to handover has led to serious crisis in
these organizations such that riot police had to be
called in to restore normalcy.
At the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory
Agency (PPPRA), Ahmed Farouk has not handed
over.
He has hinged his decision on the fact that there are
still things to be sorted out.
At the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), the former DG,
Juliet Chukka-Onaeko, was yet to hand over as at
close of work on Wednesday.
Her refusal to handover has already created tension
in the agency with workers voicing concerns over the
uncertainty prevailing over the transition.
