President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the dissolution and renewal of the Governing Board of the Federal Highway Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
The new Chairman of the Board is James Akintola, who succeeds Tunde Lemo after the latter voluntarily resigned. Other members of the old board have renewed their terms.
Mr. Lemo conveyed his appreciation to President Buhari for the opportunity he was given to serve the country.
Akintola, the new president, had held similar posts in many states. A multi-skilled construction professional, he had been Senior Special Assistant for Infrastructure in Ogun State, Consultant for Kwara State, Special Adviser for Infrastructure for Oyo State and CEO of Lagos State Public Works Corporation, among others.
He holds a BA in Architecture from the University of Lagos and an MA in the same field from the then University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University.
