No official reason was provided for the President’s decision, but sources within the Presidency hinted at concerns over alleged irregularities and procurement malpractices within the BPP under Ahmadu’s leadership.

‘From 2013 to 2015, he served as Commissioner of Finance in Lagos State and as Chairman of the Board of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria,’ the statement continued.

‘The President anticipates that the incoming Director-General will use his extensive background and skill set in this position to enhance the economy.
