The chairman of SURE-P, Dr Christopher Kolade has resigned
In the letter, Kolade informed the President of his wish to step down as chairman of SURE-P latest by the end of November before his 81st birthday, which comes up in December.
The letter dated September 25 and entitled “Withdrawal from Chairmanship of the SURE-P Committee”
reads: “I wish to inform you, respectfully, of my decision to resign from the position of Chairman of the SURE-P Committee. My desire is that the resignation should take effect as soon as Mr. President names a new chairman, but not later than the end of November, 2013. Mr. President, it has been a worthwhile experience for me to serve as chairman since the inauguration of the committee in February 2012. However, as I approach my 81st birthday, I wish to retire from the more time and energy consuming parts of my responsibilities and activities, one of which is the SURE-P Committee chairmanship.
“Mr. President, please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation for the opportunity to serve in the position of chairman, as well as my prayers for good progress and success for Nigeria in the years ahead.”
