President Bola Tinubu has approved the reappointment of Dr Bayero Farah as Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, Zaria, for a second term of four years.

This is contained in a statement by the spokesperson for the institute, John Kolawale, to journalists in Zaria on Friday.

He said the appointment takes effect from January 13.

The reappointment notice was contained in a letter signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume.

According to him, the reappointment is in accordance with the provisions of the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology Act and the 1986 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.

He said Mr Farah possessed a track record of sterling and exceptional performance, which led to the massive and unprecedented transformation of NITT to its unrivalled status since its inception in 1986.

Mr Kolawale said the director-general joined the services of NITT in 1994 as a senior staff development officer, having earlier worked as a classroom teacher and later as a National Population Census cartographic officer.

He rose through the ranks to the position of director in 2013 and substantive DG/CEO on January 13, 2020.
