President Bola Tinubu has withdrawn the nomination of Imam Kashim Ibrahim Imam as the chairman of the board of directors of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesman, said it is “with immediate effect”.
All other appointments to the board and management team of FERMA remain valid, he added.
A controversy broke out over his appointment because of his age and experience.
