Pantami commended President Muhammadu Buhari for accepting the  recommendation of the Ministry  to reappoint most of the members to serve as Chairmen and members of the board  to support the oversight of the parastatals, and cascade the National Policies that are being  implemented by the supervising ministry.

He tasked the board  members to limit themselves within the responsibilities assigned to them by the various enabling Acts of  the Parastatals and other government policies and directives that may come up from time to time.

“More than 90 per cent of the board members have been reappointed, this reappointment came as a result of our recommendation because most of you have displayed maturity in the way and manner  you interact with the parastatals.

not part of their management or the tenders board, only the management that is represented on the tenders board,” he said.

Out of the 44 board members, NIMC has 17,  NITDA has 19  while NIPOST has 8.

According to Pantami, the ICT sector has been recording tremendous achievements, adding in terms data base, Nigeria has hit over 87 million within the last two years from 42 million it inherited from the last 13 years.
