The Presidency this afternoon refuted a newspaper headline quoting it as saying that President Muhammadu Buhari will make full board appointments in January 2017.

“That President Buhari will make full board appointments in January 2017 as published did not come from us,” said Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to President (Media & Publicity).

He explained in a statement that in the interaction between him and some State House correspondents he tried to clear a few issues that they raised.

“Here is what I said: ‘You know that the reconstitution began methodically, from sector to sector. You should expect that to resume at the beginning of the New Year. The President has given directions on what to do’,” Shehu stated.
