Buhari Keeps Mum As Unqualified NAPTIP Boss Assumes Office

Mrs Sulaiman-Ibrahim’s credential does not match the requirements stipulated by the NAPTIP law for the top job.

Despite her being unqualified for the job as stipulated by the law, President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to rescind his appointment of Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim as the head of the anti-trafficking agency, NAPTIP, as the new director-general has since assumed office.

Mrs Sulaiman-Ibrahim was on December 2 appointed the head of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, also known as NAPTIP, after her predecessor, Julie Okah-Donli, was axed. But she did not assume office until December 22.

Upon her appointment, this newspaper reported how the law establishing the agency was flouted to land Mrs Sulaiman-Ibrahim the top job.

Section 8 (1) of the NAPTIP Act 2015 mandates any appointee for the position of the the director-general of the agency to be from the directorate cadre in the civil service or from an equivalent cadre in any of the nation’s law enforcement agencies.

“There shall be for the agency a Director-General who shall be from the Directorate cadre in the public service of the Federation or its equivalent in any law enforcement service and shall be appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Minister,” the section reads.

The Act further stipulates that the agency must have a board, to which the Director-General is the Secretary, and the board must be made up of Representatives of the Government, all of whom must be within the Directorate cadre in any of the ministries of Justice, women affairs, Labour and productivity, the Police, the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Nigerian Immigration Service and the National Population Commission (NPC).

Mrs Sulaiman-Ibrahim’s credential does not match these requirements, and her appointment makes it the second time ever the NAPTIP law was breached while appointing the head of the agency. Mr Buhari was president both times.

A politician and businesswoman, Mrs Sulaiman-Ibrahim’s stint in public office was as a special adviser on strategic communication to the Minister of State for Education.

This implies that she was only a political appointee whose appointment ends with the expiration of the tenure of the current government, and, therefore, did not meet the directorate cadre prerequisite for the position she now holds.

Authorities have since kept mum about the appointment, an indication they approve of Mrs Sulaiman-Ibrahim assumption of office or are unwilling to do anything about it.

Again on Wednesday, Presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu, directed all comments to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, whose spokeswoman, Halima Oyelade, declined comment.

The spokesman of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willy Bassey, also declined comment.

Undeterred, the new appointee has since commenced work and has been seen in the public performing functions and visiting dignitaries, including her state governor in Nasarawa.

On Tuesday, she released a statement saying that NAPTIP has handed over 22 rescued children to the Kaduna State Government.

What do you expect? Can we develop as a country with all these? This is worse government in the history of human race.

SINCE I WAS BORN AND NOW I'M GROWING OLD I HAVEN'T SEEN A MAN STUPID LIKE BUHARI

Wow! what changes HV the previous directors made,to show that they know what they are doing?
Have human trafficking reduced to the minimum?

Your nominee for ICC scored 5/110 in a body of 110 members wherein another Nigeria not nominated based on clannishness is the president of the same ICC.This speaks a lot why Nigeria is the way it is today.

Within and without, it is just an acceptance of mediocrity as baseline for appointment in your government.The man's flare for incompetency and nepotism is unparalleled.

Why wouldn't he keep mum? Mummies don't speak.

Besides, him and other Fulani appointees that have taken leadership of the most important and not-so-important offices in the country are not qualified.

Is it d service chiefs? Is it the Chief justice? Bunch of clowns.

Shouldn't happen.

Sai barbarian hobos over to you..


As usual,come and defend the indefensible.. dont forget to type in green red and yellow fonts for more pomp and abracadabra effects

What were you expecting...

Does he even have idea of what's going on..

Even if he does......wetin him wan talk..

Can the old cow lover boast of any certificate in his name...??

Did Buhari himself qualified?

what are u expecting him to do, to cancel her appointment? all these big men(leaders) we have with all their qualifications Some Profs, Doctors, etc what have they achieve, common electricity we don't have . who value qualification again just make sure that u are capable of delivering, u have skills and experience even first class students don't get jobs again while some third class are employed bcs of how good they are. so I see nothing wrong with what President Buhari has done.

does buhari know what is going on around him??

How did we get here? 2023 still farther

Na so

PMB doesn't hide the disdain he places on education and qualifications, an illiterate can lead the academia as long as it is PMB that is in power. The only times PMB values quality education are when he needs medical doctors to attend to his personal/relatives' health and when they need people to effectively manage their personal wealth.

There's a possibility she might be his girlfriend too, a small possibility.

I can vouch that if this man wants to contest for the third term, We Nigerians will still vote for him... Because we are easily cajoled into believing false promises

How can someone with all the atrocities he has committed, still gets voted into the highest rank of seat in the government and we expect things to automatically change for Good? We are our own scourge...

This implies that she was only a political appointee whose appointment ends with the expiration of the tenure of the current government, and, therefore, did not meet the directorate cadre prerequisite for the position she now holds.

Undeterred, the new appointee has since commenced work and has been seen in the public performing functions and visiting dignitaries, including her state governor in Nasaraw

She hits the ground running and doing her job sharp sharp.
Sharp woman.

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Even Buhari himself is not qualified to be president but he is

buhari is naturally dumb, why should he speak,

keep on complaining about nigeria, and yet when a solution is proffered, you are quick to shoot it down.

I feel Nigerians are not ready to be liberated

Don't be suprised he doesn't even know her , people around him are just getting him to sign their cronies into power

He will soon react... Give him time

If she has a statement of result from waec then she is qualified because even the president who made the appointment has no qualification than this

Children of hate and perdition will never be satisfied with the efforts of our darling president.....feminism made it possible for this woman to attain this height since it advocates for gender favouritism over meritocracy...our president being a modern man decided to compromise for peace to reign and yet wailers are still not happy...is it until the president dies that ya'll will be happy??God forbid, our president shall live to continue his good works in Nigeria. Enough of the wailing already...

Which Buhari?

Real or fake?
