NIFAAS has elected new members of Executive Council, with Dr Issa Fadlullah as the Country Focal Person/ President. The event took place on Thursday 21 November 2024, during the Forum’s 10th General Assembly, held at the Conference Hall of Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria (ARCN), Mabushi, Abuja. The Forum dissolved its previous Council, led by Professor Dele Tologbonse, and constituted a new one through an election. The result of that election was announced by Professor Tajudeen Banmeke, chairman of the Electoral Committee, thus bringing an end the leadership of Professor Tologbonse’s Executive Council, which began in November 2020. The newly elected Executive Council comprised Dr FadIullah Issa, as the Country Focal Person/ President. Others are:
Vice-president (North): Dr Buba Wahe
Vice-president (South): Dr Chinwoke Clara Ifeanyi-Obi
General Secretary: Prof Ike Mark Nwachukwu
Financial Secretary: Dr Mojisola Oyewole
Treasurer: Dr Kemi Ojo
Public Relations Officer: Prof M.K. Yahaya

By this development, Professor Tologbonse, the former CF and President, thus becomes an Ex-officio, just like his predecessor, Professor Tunji Arokoyo.
