In a press statement by the Ministry of Transportation dated February, 15th, 2022 and signed by Eric Ojiekwe, the Director, Press and Public Relations of the Ministry, the appointment takes immediate effect.

Ibrahim Nasiru, the General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications of the NPA has since confirmed the development.
