President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday approved the re-constitution and placements of a new Management Board of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF).

The development comes less than 48 hours after the erstwhile Managing Director of the Fund, Michael Akabogu, was relieved of his appointment over alleged forged NYSC certificate.

The official notice signed by the spokesman of the ministry, Olajide Oshundun, explained that the new Managing Director and Executive Directors had assumed their respective positions and duties with immediate effect from February 6, 2023.

It added that the tripartite management board was reconstituted based on the provisions of the Act and following the expiration of the tenure of the former Chairman and non-executive members of the Board.

Oshundun said the new management board will be inaugurated by the Minister of Labour and Employment as soon as the security and other clearance processes of its memberships are completed by the security agencies and other affected bodies, on a date to be announced soon.

Appointed as Chairman of the Board was Chief Emmanuel Nwosu, a Fellow of the Nigeria Institute of Town Planners (FNITP), an urban planning and management expert, who is the immediate past chairman of the Nigeria Insurance Commission,

The new Managing Director/ Chief Executive is Mrs. Maureen Allagoa, a lawyer and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Administration (FCIA).

Zandena:
Igbos are evil wallahi!
Look at the constitution of the board members and notice the gross lopsidedness and marginalisation of a section of the country.
This is a federal government agency that ought to carry along every part of the country with federal character observation. But alas! The Igbo man who is the minister in charge of this parastatal chooses nepotism other than fairness.
Chairman of the board- Christian
Managing Director- Christian
Executive Directors- Christians
Only one Muslim could be seen as board member!
The IPOB beasts who accused Buhari of nepotism can now see nepotism ProMax in Ngige!
I swear no Ibo person will rule this country in our life time!
Religious bigots!

Confirmedzombie:
This is a clear marginalisation of other regions.

How can only igbos occupy almost all the positions.

I see Ngige been a tribal bigot by placing only his tribes men in almost all the positions.

I condemn it I condemn it I condemn it.

Buhari must as a matter of urgency reverse all the appointments and apply federal character or face our wrath .

We will shut down the country with a massive protest.

We call on NLC, TUC, ASUU, NUPENG, PENGASSAN and ither unions to brace up for a massive protest
