President Buhari appoint Shaba Ahmad as new NASRDA Boss

President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Senate to confirm the appointment of Dr Halilu Shaba Ahmad as the new Director-General of the National Space Research and Development Agency.
The President in a letter read on the floor of the Senate by the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on Tuesday, urged the lawmakers to give it accelerated consideration.
Ahmad has been in acting capacity following the expiration of the two-term tenure of Professor Seidu Mohammed in June 2020.
The Agency had earlier, on July 2, 2019, announced the appointment of Mr Jonathan Angulu in acting capacity to facilitate a seamless transition process between the outgone DG and an incoming one.
Jonathan handed over to Ahmad two days earlier to continue in an acting capacity until the Federal Government appointed a substantive Director-General.
Prior to his appointment as the acting Director-General of NASRDA, Ahmad served in various leadership capacities since joining the Agency. He is from Lapai LGA of Niger state.
