Why FG Replaces Frank Kokori With Insurer As NSITF Chair.
Ngozi Olejeme who chaired the Fund between 2009 and 2015, an entrepreneur is an active politician and a former gubernatorial aspirant for Delta state under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2007 elections.
The investigative report which has now been released, according to sources, frowns at the appointment of a political appointee, a class which Kokori who is widely known as a champion of democracy belongs. The report supports the appointment of a technocrat, and vehemently against the return of political appointees so as to prevent the Fund from deviating from its course and slipping again into financial recklessness.
“Government report on the scandal at the NSITF said political appointees must not be made the chairman of the Fund because of its technical nature. Kokori is not a technical person” said a source who is familiar with the appointment.
