When President Bola Tinubu assumed office in May 2023, he began making key appointments across federal boards and agencies.<\/p>\n

Several of these announcements were celebrated as fresh starts, but a series of quick reversals soon followed.<\/p>\n

Some appointees held their positions for only days, while others never got to resume before their names were withdrawn.<\/p>\n

In October 2023, Ibrahim Kashim Imam, then 24 years old, was announced as chairperson of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).<\/p>\n

\"Questions
Questions over Imam\u2019s lack of experience led to the cancellation of his appointment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two days later, the presidency reversed the appointment without providing reasons, leaving the agency in uncertainty.<\/p>\n

At the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Idris Olorunnimbe was appointed chairman in March 2024.<\/p>\n

\"Olorunnimbe
Olorunnimbe moved from confirmation to reversal and then to a new posting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By July, he was replaced with former Nasarawa governor, Tanko Al-Makura, only to be moved to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) a month later.<\/p>\n

The Federal Character Commission (FCC) also witnessed a dramatic turnaround in August 2025.<\/p>\n

Muheeba Dankaka was reappointed as chairperson for a second five-year term, but her name was withdrawn within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

\"Dankaka\u2019s
Dankaka\u2019s second-term appointment was short-lived, lasting under a day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ayo Omidiran, a former member of the house of representatives, was announced as her replacement.<\/p>\n

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) saw its own reversal in 2024.<\/p>\n

Asu Okang, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member, was appointed to the board but was quickly replaced with Orok Otuk Duke after party protests.<\/p>\n

\"The
The appointment of Okang, who belongs to the PDP, was withdrawn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Similarly, Victor Akinjo\u2019s nomination to the NDDC board was withdrawn, and Otito Atikase was confirmed in his place.<\/p>\n

At the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Ruby Onwudiwe was nominated to the board in March 2024.<\/p>\n

Her appointment was later stepped down after concerns about her open support for the Labour Party, and Melvin Ayogu was confirmed instead.<\/p>\n

In the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), two nominees faced reversals in March 2024.<\/p>\n

Mohammad Ngoshe of Borno and Owede Kosioma Eli of Bayelsa were initially appointed as resident electoral commissioners.<\/p>\n

Six days later, their names were withdrawn, and Umar Mukhtar and Johnson Alalibo Silnikiem were confirmed in their places.<\/p>\n

One of the earliest cases involved Maryam Shetty in August 2023.<\/p>\n

\"On
On arriving for screening at the national assembly, Shetty was met with an abrupt disappointment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She was among the ministerial nominees submitted to the senate but was replaced with Mariya Mahmoud Bunkure on the very day she arrived for screening.<\/p>\n

In August 2025, the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) recorded one of the most recent reversals.<\/p>\n

Rotimi Pedro was appointed director-general, alongside Stella Din-Jacob as executive director of news and Karimah Bello as executive director of marketing.<\/p>\n

Barely two weeks later, their appointments were revoked, and the previous management was returned.<\/p>\n

These repeated changes have placed federal agencies in cycles of instability.<\/p>\n

Leaders who are expected to guide policy and direction are often replaced before they settle into their roles.<\/p>\n

Staff and operations are left in uncertainty when new management is announced and later reversed.<\/p>\n

From FERMA to NTA, the trail of rollbacks has become a recurring feature of the current administration.<\/p>\n

The frequency of these changes raises questions about decision-making and its effect on governance.<\/p>\n

Public agencies depend on continuity and stable leadership to function effectively.<\/p>\n

With appointments being announced and reversed in quick succession, long-term planning and service delivery risk being disrupted.<\/p>\n

As the presidency continues its tenure, the implications of these reversals for governance and public confidence remain unfolding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
