The Managing Director of Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Mr. Boss Mustapha, has been appointed the new Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement on Monday. The statement read, “President Muhammadu Buhari has studied the report of the panel headed by the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, which investigated allegations against the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir David Lawal, and the Director-General, National Intelligence Agency, Ambassador Ayo Oke. “The President accepted the recommendation of the panel to terminate the appointment of Mr. Lawal, and has appointed Mr. Boss Mustapha as the new Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The appointment takes immediate effect.” Boss Mustapha, the unassuming and grounded tactician, is reputed to be a team player who is loved by the NIWA team, and worked relentlessly to ensure NIWA remains relevant in the face of the legal battle with Lagos state government over control of inland waterways in Lagos state.]]>
