President BOLA TINUBU has withdrawn the nomination of IMAM KASHIM IMAM as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).

24-year-old IMAM was appointed by the President for a renewable term of four years on October 13. 

The appointment, however, generated concerns, with many saying IMAM lacked the requisite experience for the job.

Following the uproar, presidential spokesman, AJURI NGELALE, said that the withdrawal of the nomination is with immediate effect.

Although no reason was given by the presidency for the decision, NGELALE said all other appointments to the Board and Executive Management team of FERMA are not affected by this directive.
