“The lady in question is serving as chief of staff to Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, Governor of kaduna State.
“She also lacks the experience to manage such a large organisation and heading senior professors as staffs under her.
“While we strongly condemn this act, we urge the federal government to reverse this appointment and look for capable hands from the southern part of the country in the spirit of fairness, equity and justice and, above all, the unity of this country,” Tanko added.
