Jonathan re-appoints NITT D-G

President Goodluck Jonathan has re-
appointed Dr Aminu Yusuf as the substantive
Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of
Transport Technology (NITT), Zaria, Kaduna State,
for a second term of four years.
A statement by Mr Paul Mshelizah, the Chief Public
Relations Officer of the institute, said that the
reappointment would take effect from March 19,
when the first term would expire.
The statement said the renewal of the tenure was
contained in a letter by the Minister of Transport,
Sen. Idris Umar, and signed by the Permanent
Secretary, Mr Nebolisa Emodi.
Aminu was first appointed as the Director-General
and Chief Executive of NITT on March 19, 2010.
He had within the first tenure contributed to the
development of not only the institute but the
transport industry in general, the statement said.
Some of his achievements included stabilisation of
NITT long term programmes by affiliating the Post
Graduate Programmes of the institute to Ahmadu
Bello University (ABU) Zaria.
The statement added that the appointee had
expanded activities and programmes of the institute
to enable it to achieve its full mandate.
Aminu had also created additional departments and
increased the institute’s partnership and
collaboration with local and international
organisations. (NAN)
