The Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government through the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has appointed Ben Iloanusi as acting Managing Director (MD).
Naija News reports that the appointment is following the completion of Fidet Okhiria’s tenure as MD.
This was made known in a statement on Sunday by Yakub Mahmood, deputy director of public relations at NRC.
He said Okhiria, who completed his second four-year tenure on October 18, has handed over to Iloanusi.
According to Mahmood, Iloanusi, who joined the NRC in 2011, is the most senior executive director in the corporation and has served as deputy director of procurement since 2019.
Mahmood said Iloanusi holds a degree in political science from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a master of business administration (MBA) in international management from South Bank University, London, United Kingdom.
In his farewell speech, Okhiria thanked the entire corporation for their support throughout his tenure and urged them to extend the same support to his successor.
“I enjoin the management and staff of the corporation to extend same co-operation and understanding to the acting managing director,” Okhiria said.
Iloanusi also requested the support of NRC staff and welcomed constructive criticism to help move the organisation forward.
