FIIRO Directors Reject Investigation Petition Against Tutuwa
Five directors of the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi (FIIRO) issued a joint statement rejecting a petition that requested President Bola Ahmed to establish an investigative panel regarding the institute's management under Director-General and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Jummai Adamu Tutuwa. The petition, submitted by a group named "Concerned Stakeholders at FIIRO" on October 24, 2026, raised issues about the institute's infrastructure, research output, financial management, and governance from May 10, 2022, to the present.
The directors, including Dr. Ahmed Aroke and Mr. Timothy Ajayi, highlighted that Tutuwa had resolved a N25 million debt to Eko Electricity Distribution Company and improved electricity supply to 18-24 hours daily. They noted active research projects, including biodegradable packaging and nutrition research, and mentioned the completion of a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The directors urged caution regarding the petition's claims and called for media verification before reporting.
