In a significant political maneuver, President Bola Tinubu has appointed Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the Board Chairman of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). This announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement released on Friday.
The appointments extend beyond Felix Morka, as 20 state chairmen of the APC and several members of the National Working Committee have also been designated as board chairmen of various Federal Government institutions. This strategic decision is seen as a move to bolster the party’s influence across key federal agencies.
Among the notable appointments are Hon. Fatuhu Buhari, who has been named the Director-General of the National Agricultural Seed Council, and Mallam Muhammad Massan, the APC State Chairman of Bauchi State, who will chair the Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute in Ilorin.
Other recent appointments include:
- Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas (Kano State) – Board Chairman, Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Service.
- Dr. Austian Agada (Benue State) – Board Chairman, National Agricultural Seed Council.
- Hon. Macdonald Ebere (Imo State) – Board Chairman, Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Lagos.
- Ubong Stephen Ntukekpo (Akwa Ibom State) – Board Chairman, National Institute for Freshwater Fish, New Bussa.
This wave of appointments reflects the Tinubu administration’s commitment to leveraging party loyalty and expertise in the governance of crucial national institutions. As the APC consolidates its power, political analysts will be watching closely to see how these appointments will impact the party’s agenda and governance in Nigeria.
