Signed by Willie Bassey, the director of information at the OSGF, the circular also said the president wished Professor Haruna success in his future endeavours.
The circular reads in part:
“The President appreciates the contributions of Prof. Haruna in the development of the engineering infrastructure sub-sector of the economy and wishes him success in his future endeavours."
It was gathered that trouble started for Professor Haruna after the reversal of the extension in tenure of office granted by the President from April 2 to April 2, 2025.
The tenure extension was kicked against because the EVC had completed two tenures of five years each in the organisation.
