It was learnt that Salamatu, the Director of Operations for the Board, took over from Alhaji Ibrahim Mairiga, who left on a terminal leave of absence before his four-year term ended in September 2024.

President Tinubu also appointed Ademola Adebise, a former managing director of Wema Bank, as chairman of the board of Family Homes Funds Limited (FHFL).
