While Colonel ALOCHE ADOLE will serve as the board’s Chairman, Dr STEPHEN ADEGBITE will serve as Secretary.

Other members of the board include OMOWUMI OLUBUNMI OGUNLOLA (South West), CLEMENT ALOBU NWEKE (South East), WELI WOSU (South South), Professor JOSEPH HARUNA MAMMAN (North West), Dr TOMA HAMIDU RAGNJIYA (North East), Dr SIMON ABU SAMSON DOLLY (North Central) and Bishop RAPHAEL BENJAMIN NWANKWO (CAN).

The President charged the new appointees to consider their appointment as an opportunity to serve the nation and, as such, wholly commit themselves to this important purpose.
