President Bola Tinubu has sacked the chief executives of the Federal Competition and the Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) and the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE).

VerseNews reports that presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale disclosed this in a late Monday statement, saying the dismissal of Babatunde Irukera as the FCCPC EVC/CEO and Alexander Ayoola Okoh of BPE is part of restructuring moves.

“In conformity with plans to restructure and reposition critical agencies of the Federal Government toward protecting the rights of Nigerian consumers and providing a strong basis for enhanced contributions to the nation’s economy by key growth-enabling institutions, President Bola Tinubu has dismissed the following Chief Executive Officers:

“(1) Mr. Babatunde Irukera — EVC/CEO, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). (2) Mr. Alexander Ayoola Okoh — Director-General/CEO, Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE)

“The two dismissed Chief Executives are directed to hand over to the next most senior officer in their respective agencies, pending the appointment of new Chief Executive Officers. By this directive of the President, their removal from office takes immediate effect,” the statement added.

The dismissed CEOs are to hand over to the next most senior officers, with immediate effect, pending the appointment of new Chief Executive Officers.
