Tinubu’s latest appointment sets a new record.

President Bola Tinubu has continued his history of appointing young people to positions of leadership in his administration by naming Imam Ibrahim Kashim Imam as chairman of the board of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA).

Imam was born on December 27, 1998, making him the Tinubu administration’s youngest head of a government department at the age of 24.

He earned a first-class degree in mechanical engineering from Brighton University in the United Kingdom, as well as a Masters degree from the University of Sussex.

Imam finished his mandatory national duty in August 2022.

He is the son of Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, a former PDP chieftain in Borno state.

On Friday, AIT reported the appointment of Imam, along with ten other FERMA board members.
