Appoint Professionals to head specialized institutions – Gulak urges FG

The Deputy National President Chattered Institute of Transport Administration, Alhaji Umar Iya Gulak has advised the federal government to ensure that only professionals are appointed to head specialized institutions to promote industrial harmony in the country.

This call was made in an interview with newsmen in Kaduna.

Alhaji Gulak who expressed dismay over the appointment of a pharmacologist as Head of the Federal University of Transport Technology Daura, urged the government to consider its reversal to avoid unnecessary controversy.

” The incoming administration should ensure from the onset appointment of professionals into specialized Institutions to ensure round pegs in round holes.

” Jobs of engineering should be given engineers to manage and medical institutions should be manned by medically trained personnel and this should apply to all sectors including education, aviation among others”.

He also called for the revocation of the power purchase agreement of 2015 to check alleged non-performance which hitherto caused untold hardship for consumers despite billions of Naira spent to improve the sector.

Gulak who is also an All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholder from Adamawa State and contested the Northern Senatorial seat worried over the appointment that might be to the development of the transport institution.

While praying for the successful inauguration of the incoming administration of President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he called for the support and cooperation of the opposition politicians in order to move the nation forward.
