The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, made this known in a statement he issued on Friday.
AVM Kaita replaces Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, who also serves as the Federal Housing Authority’s (FHA) chairman.
Onanuga said the president made the change to enable Dr. Gawuna to concentrate on his position at the FHA.
Before retiring from the Nigerian Air Force, AVM Saddiq Ismaila Kaita was Director of Strategy at the Defence Headquarters and Chief of Defence Transformation and Innovation.
He is known for his contributions to training and standardisation within the Air Force.
