In a statement released by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, Orikpo, from Delta state, joins the new board chairpersons announced earlier on Friday, January 24.
Meanwhile, the presidency clarified that Duro Meseko from Kogi state is the chairman of the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI).
It said: “What appears to be a duplication has been corrected.”
Also, Sokoto-born Yahaya Bello Wurnon—not Ambassador Wurno—is the chairman of the Sokoto-Rima River Basin Development Authority.
The presidency said: “The mix-up is regretted.”
Prospects of Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda
Members of the ruling government say the Renewed Hope agenda of the Tinubu administration is a transformative policy thrust aimed at repositioning Nigeria as a prime global investment destination.
According to them, the agenda hinged on the core pillars of democracy, development, demographics, and diaspora engagement.
President Tinubu said in late 2023 that leveraging the nation’s population and resources, with main focus on unleashing Nigeria’s full economic potential, his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda can build a trillion-dollar economy within the next decade.
This, the President noted, can be further facilitated by job creation, access to capital for small and large businesses, inclusiveness, the rule of law and the fight against hunger, poverty and corruption.
The president maintained that with its rich population and resources, Nigeria has the potential of becoming a trillion-dollar economy within the next 10 years.
