The Director of Information in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation OSGF, Willie Bassey who disclosed this in a statement issued Tuesday night said Prof Haruna is to immediately hand over to the next most senior officer in the establishment.
The statement reads; “President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Executive Vice Chairman EVC of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Professor Mohammed Sani Haruna, to immediately hand over his office to the next most senior officer in the establishment.
