President Bola Tinubu has made changes to the leadership of two government agencies, relieving Prof. Aliyu Jauro and Dr. Adeniyi Aremu of their appointments.
Prof. Jauro was the Director-General of the National Environmental Standards and Regulation Enforcement Agency (NESREA), while Dr. Aremu served as the Managing Director/CEO of the Niger Delta River Basin Development Authority (NDRBDA).
In their place, Tinubu has appointed Dr. Innocent Barikor as the new Director-General of NESREA and Ebitimi Amgbare as the new Managing Director/CEO of NDRBDA. Dr. Barikor is an academic, politician, and former member of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
He takes over from Prof. Jauro, who was first appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in February 2019 and reappointed in February 2023.
On the other hand, Amgbare is a retired naval officer and former commissioner in Bayelsa State. He succeeds Dr. Aremu, who was initially appointed by President Buhari in January 2017 and reappointed in January 2021.
President Tinubu expects the new heads of these agencies to carry out their duties with utmost fidelity to the nation and adhere to the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, and excellent service to the people of Nigeria.
