Muhammad Babangida has debunked the news making the rounds in some online news outlet that he declined his appointment as Chairman of the Bank of Agriculture (BOA).
In his reaction, Babangida said there was no truth I the report, which only aimed at
misleading Nigerians and discrediting President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
He therefore said that he was honouree to be appointed and has since accepted the appointment.
“Muhammad Babangida is honored to accept the appointment as Chairman of the Bank of Agriculture and thanks President Tinubu for the confidence reposed in him,” he said.
Babangida emphasized his dedication to the assignment and revealed that steps were being taken to trace and hold accountable those responsible for spreading what he called deliberate falsehoods.
The statement further warned against misinformation and urged citizens to rely on authentic sources for news concerning national matters.
Babangida, a son of former military ruler General Ibrahim Babangida, is one of several recent appointments made by President Tinubu aimed at revitalizing federal agencies.
He is expected to bring valuable private-sector experience and global insight to his new position, which is crucial to advancing agricultural productivity and rural development across the country.
