Breaking: Tinubu Sacks Adekamb, Reinstates Zabbey As HYPREP Coordinator

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reversed the decision to appoint former Ondo state commissioner, Dr Femi Adekambi, and has brought back Professor Nenibarini Zabbey to lead the project coordination for the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project, HYPREP.

This decision was made just under two days after Adekambi took up the role of project coordinator for HYPREP.

Ajuri Ngelale, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, confirmed the latest decision via his official page on Facebook on Monday afternoon.

The statement reads, “President Bola Tinubu has approved the reinstatement of Professor Nenibarini Zabbey as the Project Coordinator of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP).

“The President reached the decision following a performance review of the HYPREP Project Coordinator and concluded that the Project Coordinator is fit to discharge his functions in accordance with the regulations guiding the execution of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP).

“By the directive of the President, the reinstatement of the HYPREP Project Coordinator takes immediate effect.”

It could be recalled that President Tinubu had earlier on Saturday selected Adekanmbi to lead the Project Coordinator role for the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP).

Dr. Adekanmbi held the position of Commissioner for Special Duties, Culture and Tourism in Ondo State and was also a member of the Nigerian Environmental Society (NES).
