The appointment was officially approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Salihijo steps in following the suspension of former Managing Director of REA, Damilola Ogunbiyi, in December 2019.
Ogunbiyi was instructed by the Nigerian Minister of Power, Sale Mamman, to hand over to the next most senior officer in the agency following some apparent infractions in the agency.
It has been confirmed that the Nigerian Government has reversed the suspension of Ogunbiyi from her role as Managing Director of REA, whereby her resignation effective 31 December 2019 has been accepted by the President to enable her to take up her new UN appointment.
