Since
the exit of the immediate past Executive Secretary of the Federal Loans Board,
Hajia Hannatu Fika, there seems to be simmering crisis as to who takes over the
reins of leadership. Whereas Hajia
Hannatu made no secret of her desire for Hajia Salamatu Ahmed to take over, the
mantle however fell on Muhammed Soba to act as the Executive Secretary, being
the most senior director at the time. But he is due for retirement next April,
2020. His brief tenure has strangely produced no result instead stifling the
growth of the loans board. Insiders say, since his assumption of office, he has
spent a deal of time sleeping on the job with hundreds of files remaining in
the cooler. To date, no Developer has been paid and fewer subscribers have
received payment either. The situation is said to be worrisome unlike the good
old days when Fika was in charge and not a few enjoyed relief. Efforts to speak
to Mohammed Soba proved abortive as he is said not to favor granting the Press
access. “He sits in the office studying files and at the end do nothing about
it”, said a staff who prefer to remain anonymous. “The way things are now, if Mohammed
continues in office, this Loans board will be shot down”, he added. According
to popular opinion, Hajia Salamatu Ahmed is the favored choice of majority of
staff as well as the board. Therefore it would be no surprise when in April,
she is named the substantive Executive Secretary because history has shown that
she will be a better performer.
