The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi has clarified that he was not behind the suspension of the Managing Director of the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Ms. Hadiza Bala-Usman.

Amaechi, who featured on ‘The Morning Show,’ programme on ARISE NEWS noted that the former NPA boss was not suspended but only asked to ‘step aside’ to enable an investigation into the management of the authority from 2016 to date.

He however added that President Muhammadu Buhari would decide on the resumption of the embattled NPA boss after the conclusion of the probe.
