President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the dissolution and renewal of the Governing Board for the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
A statement issued by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, on Thursday gave the name of the new Chairman of the Board as Mr James Olugbenga Akintola, who succeeds Mr Tunde Lemo, after the latter voluntarily stepped down.
It said other members of the old Board have their terms renewed.
According to the statement, Lemo conveyed his appreciation to President Buhari for the opportunity given to him to serve the country.
It informed that Akintola, the new Chairman, had occupied similar positions in many States.
The statement further said that as a multi-skilled construction professional, he had been Senior Special Assistant Infrastructure in Ogun State, Consultant to Kwara State, Special Adviser Infrastructure, Oyo State, and Executive Chairman, of Lagos State Public Works Corporation, among others.
He holds a B.Sc in Architecture from the University of Lagos, and an M.Sc in the same field from the then University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University.
