NRC deputy of public relations Yakub Mahmood said in a statement Sunday that Ilonusi will take over being the most senior executive director after Okhiria finished his second four-year tenure on October 18.
Iloanusi, joined the NRC in 2011. He was deputy director of procurement since 2019. He holds a degree in political science from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a master of business administration (MBA) in international management from South Bank University, London, United Kingdom.
In his farewell speech, Okhiria thanked the entire corporation for their support throughout his tenure and urged them to extend the same support to his successor.
“I enjoin the management and staff of the corporation to extend same co-operation and understanding to the acting managing director,” Okhiria said.
Iloanusi also requested the support of NRC staff and welcomed constructive criticism to help move the organisation forward.
