Senator Francis Okpozo, who died at 81, in 2016, was named Chairman, Nigerian Press Council (NPC).
Late retired Deputy Inspector General of Police and elder statesman, Donald Ugbaja was appointed member of Consumer Protection Council. His name is the third on the list of the council whose chairman is Emeka Nwakpa.
The two men are among the 209 chairmen and 1,258 members appointed to fill the governing boards of agencies and parastatals positions.
Another dead man is on the list. He is Rev. Christopher Utov, who died in March this year. His name is on the board of Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research.
The long list of appointment has now been subjected to deep scrutiny by Nigerians. It is feared that more dead people may be “exhumed” from the list.
