Barely
one month before handing over power, President Goodluck Jonathan has
appointed a former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, as chairman of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC.
Mr. Obi’s
appointment was contained in a statement released Tuesday by the Special
Adviser on Media and Public Affairs to the President, Reuben Abati.
The
former governor had defected from the All Progressives Grand Alliance,
APGA, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, shortly after he left office
in 2014.
The president also confirmed the appointment of Mounir Haliru Gwarzo as the director-general of SEC.
Mr.
Gwarzo was appointed on acting capacity shortly after the tenure of the
former director-General of the commission, Arunma Oteh, ended last
year.
The Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance
Scheme, NHIS, Femi Thomas, was however, not lucky as he was sacked by
the president.
Mr. Abati announced the appointment of Olufemi
Akingbade as the acting Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer
of the agency.
