The Presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari approved the appointment of Mohammed Bello-Koko because he came highly recommended by the Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the Special Adviser to the President, Garba Shehu, said that Amaechi was able to convince the President by citing several reasons, among which is the revenue performance of the NPA under Koko.
