President Tinubu Names Ikye Orikpo As New UniAbuja Teaching Hospital Chairman

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Ikye Orikpo from Delta State as the Chairman of the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital.

This announcement was part of a broader unveiling of board chairpersons for various federal agencies and organizations.

The confirmation came through a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

“Orikpo is among the newly announced board chairpersons,” the statement noted.

The presidency also addressed inaccuracies in the earlier list of appointees.

“Hon. Duro Meseko from Kogi State is the Chairman of the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute. The duplication error has been resolved,” Onanuga clarified.

He added, “Hon. Yahaya Bello Wurno from Sokoto, not Ambassador Wurno, is the Chairman of the Sokoto-Rima River Basin Development Authority.”

The presidency expressed regret for the mistakes and assured stakeholders that the revised list accurately reflects the approved appointments.
