I have followed the concerns in the media on the report that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu dismissed Babatunde Irukera EVC/CEO, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) and Alexander Ayoola Okoh — Director-General/CEO, Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE).

The President’s directive did not intend a dismissal . The two men who have served our country were relieved of their duties by the president as he scouts for their successors.

This is contained in a press release issued by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the president on information and Strategy.

The statement further explained that, “The connotations implied in using the word dismissal were clearly not intended in the statement issued.

“President Tinubu thanks the two men for their services and wishes them well in their future endeavours.”
