PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has appointed five heads of agencies in the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovations, and Digital Economy. He also named Vincent Olatunji as the National Commissioner of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, while Nkechi Egerton-Idehen is the Managing Director of the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited. Additionally, Tinubu approved Idris Alubankudi as his new Special Advisor on Technology and the Digital Economy. The ICIR reports that Odeyemi becomes the third chief executive officer to have led NIPOST in less than 13 months. But barely a year after, Tinubu, a new President who assumed office in May 2023, fired and replaced him with Odeyemi.
