A statement issued by Head, Public Communications, Mr Alex Eros Okoh, quoted the new BPE boss as saying his administration would also work to sustain the positive image of the Bureau while at the same time strive to change the negative perception held by some people about the BPE in the execution of its mandate.<\/p>\n

Okoh promised to step up the post-privatization monitoring activities of the Bureau to ensure that owners of privatized enterprises live up to the covenants they signed with the Bureau so that Nigerians could derive maximum benefits from the privatized enterprises.<\/p>\n

He thanked the former acting Director-General of the Bureau, Dr. Vincent Onome Akpotaire, for successfully piloting the affairs of the Bureau in the last 14 months and called for synergy during the transition period.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Dr. Vincent Onome Akpotaire while handing over to the new DG said that given his background as a seasoned administrator, the management and staff of the Bureau are confident that he would succeed in his new assignment and give the Bureau a new lease of life.<\/p>\n

On their part, members of the Management Team pledged to co-operate with the new DG to take the Bureau to greater heights. He was later conducted round the offices where he familiarized with the staff.<\/p>\n

Before his appointment by the Federal Government on Thursday, April 13, 2017 as the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Okoh was the Managing Partner of Ashford & McGuire Consulting Ltd.<\/p>
