The presidency has said Frank Kokori is no longer the nominee to head the board of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF).
In a statement on Sunday, President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina, said the position of the labour minister, Chris Ngige, that a new person had been appointed to chair the NSITF board, had the backing of Mr Buhari.
Ngige has been involved in a kerfuffle with the Nigeria Labour Congress over the board of the agency.
In his statement on Sunday, Mr Adesina said, “the presidency has noted with deep concern and regrets, the events that culminated in a skirmish at the private residence of the Hon. Minister of Labour and Employment, and condemns it, in its entirety.”
