President Bola Tinubu has sacked Olufemi Adekanmbi as the Project Coordinator for the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP).
Recall that Adekanmbi’s appointment was announced on Saturday in a statement by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.
Adekanmbi, is a former Commissioner for Special Duties, Culture, and Tourism in Ondo State and a member of the Nigerian Environmental Society (NES).
However, this appointment was greeted with criticism as various groups claimed he is not an Ogoni man and should be removed.
The president has now reinstated the former project coordinator, Prof. Nenibarini Zabbey.
A statement by the Presidency on Monday reads:
“President Bola Tinubu has approved the reinstatement of Professor Nenibarini Zabbey as the Project Coordinator of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP).
“The President reached the decision following a performance review of the HYPREP Project Coordinator and concluded that the Project Coordinator is fit to discharge his functions in accordance with the regulations guiding the execution of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP).
By the directive of the President, the reinstatement of the HYPREP Project Coordinator takes immediate effect”.
