A civil society organisation, Transparency Advocacy for Development Initiative (TADI), has lauded President Bola Tinubu for reappointing Kashifu Abdulahi as CEO of the National Information and Technology Development Agency (NITDA).

“TIDA wishes to commend President Tinubu for getting it right again in the choice of appointment of personalities with proven integrity, capacity and competence to head sensitive national institutions,” said TADI’s executive director, Yomi David, in a statement issued Thursday.

“We in the civil society have no doubt about his capacity to serve and deliver on all assignments he would be embarking on again as his signature of sterling performances can be found at every local government area of the federation,” Mr David said.

According to TIDA boss, Mr Tinubu’s determination to reposition Nigeria to its place of pride among the comity of nations is commendable.

“We call on Nigerians to rally round President Tinubu as he continues to deliver on the renewed hope to Nigerians,” he said.
