Brighton University and prestigious should not be in the same sentence. But I have got no issue with the young man since the chair only offers titular leadership at best. 8 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis:No experience Smh. It's called cognate experience and you must have it even if you are a one-day old professional. What you could have raised is if the cognate experience meets the one required to fill that post. Chairman in agencies like this is more of ceremonial , the real Don is the MD followed by the secretary and Head of Finance. If you have proofs that the individual is not qualified, write your petition or go to court 31 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis: You will still some pathetic fools come here to defend this appointment...Am not against Tinubu for making this appointment but we the poor should know in our hearts that as long as we remain docile in the name of being afraid of death, we don't have a future in this country. The young man appointed graduated from a foreign university..you and I know that the poor can not afford the fees but cetinly the rich, so after their fathers messed up our country they are now systematically installing their children to lord and continue with the policy of messing up our lives and some of our online hungry goats will come and defend them. 4 Likes |

mrvitalis: I thought we’ve all agreed to allow the youths take over the administration of the country. So, what’s wrong with appointing a first class graduate to head a government agency? Would you have complained if the guy was Igbo? All the old and experienced folks that have been appointed in the past, did they perform better? Gowon and co led Nigeria in their twenties. So, there is no big deal here. He is a brilliant guy and will do a great. Stop crying and criticizing just for criticizing sake. Be positive for once in your life and stop hating on others. 30 Likes |

ahaz: You introduced an interesting angle into the debate, so I 'liked' your comment. Just as you have done, we must ask the difficult and inconvenient questions about these appointments and our leaders in general - if we truly desire progress in Nigeria. Him Papa antecedents according to Wikipedia. Kashim Ibrahim-Imam was born 8 May 1962, he is a Nigerian politician who was twice the People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Governor of Borno State in 2003 and 2007, losing both times to the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) candidate Ali Modu Sheriff. Ibrahim-Imam was born into a political family. His father, Ibrahim Imam was the motivating force of the progressive Borno Youth Movement.[1] He earned degrees in Political Science and International Economic Relations from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and the University of Maiduguri. He then entered the banking industry. He was given the title of "Mutawalli Borno", a senior councillor to the Shehu (traditional ruler) of Borno.[2] He was a childhood friend and business partner of his political opponent in Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff.[3] IIbrahim-Imam was appointed Presidential Liaison Officer to the Senate at the start of President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration.[2] Image source: https://observerstimes.com/2020/05/19/buhari-appoints-kashim-ibrahim-imam-as-tetfund-chairman/ 1 Like

Since your father didn’t achieve that then try hard to be seen or known so that you can be recognized too. What have you done differently that would make anyone recommend you for a position?

Congratulations to Agbadorians and Northern compatriots. It's our season to smile. Only Obidenses will wail till 2027. Lesson to learn: hating does not stop a determined man from his ambition and haters are only attracting negative energy to their lives. Haters will remain losers for live! Omo Odua gidi.

Boards are not involved in day-to-day running of parastatals so it is not really a requirement for a board chair to be a technocrat in that field |

DaddyJapan: That's exactly what am stressing here..we the masses don't have that hope of deciding our future it's always the elites recycling their grip on power but it's unfortunate that the very people whose lifes are in jeopardy will still kill to defend this one's just for crumbs. Sometimes I laugh at people who come online and insult the western world but this are the very people that have us equal opportunity to showcase what talent God has given us infact, the opportunity an average African gets out their can never be given here not in two life times. |

garfield1: This is not about complaints. A mechanical engineer has no business chairing FERMA, which should be the sole prerogative of a civil engineer. Whether he's a youth or a ceremonial head counts for shit. As the chairman, he is supposed to be the voice of authority in that agency and his inputs have to stem from academic knowledge or the technical know-how. I am 90 percent certain this appointment is a gift of gratitude to someone and not because Tinubu found merit in the young man. Do you know the litany of overly experienced and qualified Civil Engineers we have in Nigeria duly certified by COREN?! Let's stop celebrating anomalies! 1 Like |
