Immediate-past Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency, Ms Damilola Ogunbiyi, has assumed duty at her new job at the United Nations. A UN spokesman, Mr Farhan Haq, made this known to News Agency of Nigeria in New York on Tuesday. “The Government of Nigeria has publicly communicated and also informed the United Nations that the suspension of Ogunbiyi was reversed. “Accordingly, she has begun her appointment at the United Nations as of January 1,” the UN spokesman said in response to a NAN enquiry on Monday. The enquiry, made before Buhari’s intervention, had sought the Secretary-General’s reaction to the suspension and its implication for Ogunbiyi’s appointment with the UN.
