President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday night appointed 209 board chairmen and 1,258 members of government owned agencies and parastatals, redeeming a part of the pledge he made 31 October at the National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

After the announcement was made, social media users  discovered that three of the people appointed have long passed.

Reverend Christopher Utov, who passed in March 2017, sits on the board of the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research.

Donald Ugbaja, who passed in November, was also added to the board of the Consumer Protection Council.

According to Boss Mustapha, all the appointments take immediate effect.
