PRESIDENT JONATHAN FIRES MRS. JOY EMORDI AS SPECIAL ADVISER

President Goodluck Jonathan has terminated the appointment of two of
his Special Advisers.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati.
The statement said the appointment of Joy Emordi, who was Special
Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters, and that of
Tunji Olagunju, his Special Adviser on the New Partnership for
Africa's Development (NEPAD), had been terminated with immediate
effect.
"President Jonathan thanks Mrs. Emordi and Dr. Olagunju for their
services and wishes them success in their future endeavours".
Mr. Olagunju had served as Special Adviser to the President on NEPAD
since June 2007 while Mrs. Emordi was appointed in 2011.
The President had also last week fired nine of his ministers.
