The new appointments of Apollonius Agev, an ambassador, and Kio Amieyeofori, are with immediate effect.
The agency was recently enmeshed in crisis, following the appointment of Rufai Abubakar allegedly without recourse to service rule and federal character principle.
But the president’s latest approval was contained in a statement made available to journalists Tuesday by the Permanent Secretary, General Services, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olusegun Adekunle.

“The appointments take immediate effect,” the statement added.
