President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Aba Aliyu as new Managing Director Rural Electrification Agency, REA, following the sack of Ahmed Salihijo former MD REA.
Aliyu, until his appointment, was Head of Project Management Unit and Director Nigeria Electrification Project NEP, which is funded by the World Bank and the African Development Bank AFDB.
He is said to be one of the finest officers of the REA in terms of procurement and transparency in the award of contracts and policy implementation and strategic planning.
Aliyu is expected to give visibility and openess to the operations of the agency, which was a fundamental misdeameanour by the past managment team where contracts and procurement processes were shrouded in secrecy leading to the just concluded battle between the registered contractors of the agency and the outgone management.
The newly appointed Managing Director is expected to refocus and ensure that activities and indeed projects awarded, ongoing and completed, are widely publicised for clarity and accountability in governance.
