President Muhammadu Buhari has terminated the appointment of the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Alhaji Sanusi Ado Bayero.
The termination of Alhaji Bayero’s appointment is with immediate effect. Bayero was appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan on April 30, 2015.
A statement by the presidential spokesperson, Mr. Femi Adesina directed Bayero to hand over the management of the NPA and all government property in his possession to Mr. Habibu Abdullahi who has been reinstated as Managing Director of the NPA by President Buhari.

Sanusi Lamido Ado Bayero is the eldest son of the late Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero who died in 2014. Bayero was favoured by the Kano royal council to replace his father as the Emir of Kano. However, then governor of Kano State, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) disregarded the recommendations of the council and appointed former Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who was aligned with the APC as the Emir of Kano.
The out-going NPA Boss is an uncle to the current Emir of Kano.
President Buhari also wished Bayero well in his future endeavours.
