The Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE) said on Thursday that NITEL board had not approved the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) presented to the public by Transcorp Plc. recently.
Transcorp had last week presented Mr. Kevin Caruso, an American, as the new CEO following the resignation of Malam Abubakar Nahuce in March.
The Director-General of BPE, Mrs Irene Chigbue, disclosed this at the opening of financial bids for the advisory services for the privatisation of NITEL/MTEL in Abuja.
Caruso, an international telecommunications executive with over 20 year’s management experience with United States of America’s AT & T, was named as the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Telecommunications Plc, NITEL in July this year.
