President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the immediate sack of Mohammed Sani, executive vice-chairman (EVC) of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI).
The office of the secretary to the government of the federation broke the news in a statement on Tuesday.
In the statement signed by Willie Bassey, director of information, Buhari directed Sani to hand over to the most senior officer in NASENI.
The development comes hours after the president extended the tenure of Sami by two years.
The statement said his removal followed the realisation that he had completed the required term in office.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), Professor Mohammed Sani Haruna, to immediately hand over his office to the next most senior officer in the establishment,” the statement reads.
“This follows the reversal of the extension in office granted by the President from 2nd April, 2023 to 2nd of April, 2025 due to the fact that the EVC had completed two tenures of five years each in the organization.
“The president appreciates the contributions of Professor Haruna in the development of the engineering infrastructure sub-sector of the economy, and wishes him success in his future endeavours.”
