More details have emerged on certain actions of Hadiza Bala-Usman, the erstwhile Managing Director of the Nigeria Port Authority, that angered the Presidency, thus culminating into her sack.
Amid numerous allegations including financial impropriety, high-handedness and cronyism, Ms Bala-Usman, who held the position since 2016, was asked to step aside for a proper audit of the NPA’s financials and investigation into her wrongdoings.
Ms Bala-Usman’s suspension, initially announced by the Presidency on Thursday, was delivered in a letter addressed to her on Friday. The panel to carry out the investigation has been set up afterwards.
But, while Nigerians await the report of the probe, credible reports have exposed different shady acts of the ousted NPA boss, including her ties with Africa’s richest, Aliko Dangote, which led to several concessions, at the expense of the government’s revenue.
