President Bola Tinubu has approved the reappointment of Adamu Adaji as the Director-General of the National Boundary Commission (NBC) for a second term.
The announcement was made on Monday in a statement by Efe Ovuakporie, the Head of Information and Public Relations Unit. Ovuakporie noted that the reappointment was communicated through a letter signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
The reappointment is effective from August 7, 2024, and will last for another four years. The letter stated, “I am pleased to inform you that His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has approved the renewal of your appointment as Director-General of the National Boundary Commission for a second and final term of four years, in accordance with the provisions of Section 16 (1) and (3)(a) of the National Boundary Commission (Establishment) Act, 2006.”
The statement highlighted Adaji’s exceptional performance and contributions to the significant transformation of the NBC and the advancement of boundary management in Nigeria.
It also noted Adaji’s educational background, including an MSc in Land Surveying from Ahmadu Bello University and an MPA in Public Administration from the University of Maiduguri. Adaji began his career at the NBC in 1992 as an Assistant Chief Surveyor, having previously worked as a lecturer at A.B.U. He later rose to the position of Director and was appointed substantive DG on August 8, 2020.
His reappointment is expected to further enhance the agency’s operations and contribute to establishing peaceful boundaries in Nigeria’s 86 interstate boundary communities and international borders.
