Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been stripped of some of his powers over some Federal Government agencies under his supervision.
Sources in the Presidency confirmed that the vice president, through a memo, had received a presidential directive asking him to seek presidential approvals for those agencies.
The vice president chairs the governing boards of the National Emergency Management Agency NEMA, Border Communities Development Agency, the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies NIPSS, and the National Boundary Commission NBC.
He also chairs the Board of Directors of Niger Delta Power Holding Company, a limited liability company owned by the three tiers of government as well as the Chairman of National Council on Privatisation.
The new directive came in the wake of alleged irregularities in running the affairs of the agencies.
