LAGOS MARCH 10TH (URHOBOTODAY)-President Goolduck Jonathan Tuesday removed the Chairman of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P), Gen. Martin Luther Agwai (rtd.), with immediate effect and appointed Mr. Ishaya Dare Akau, as his replacement.
A Presidency statement said Agwai’s removal is “In furtherance of his efforts to continuously re-energize and reposition agencies of the Federal Government for optimal service delivery.”
“The new SURE-P Chairman hails from Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State and holds Bachelors’ Degrees in the Arts and Law.

“Mr. Akau comes to the job with years of experience as a high-level administrator in the nation’s public service. His record of service includes tenures as Chairman of the Kaduna State Universal Education Board and Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission.
“President Jonathan thanks the outgoing Chairman of SURE-P, Gen Agwai for his service to the nation and wishes him well in his future endeavours,” the statement added.
Agwai, a former Chief of Army Staff (COAS), is coming days after he said change in leadership had become inevitable in the country and cautioned the military to steer clear of partisan politics if they are desirous of overcoming the war against the Boko Haram and other security challenges.
Agwai spoke while delivering a paper at the 78th birthday celebration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, Thursday.
Agwai was appointed chairman of the SURE-P on February 6, 2014.
