Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Ms Hadiza Usman has denied having a romantic relationship with Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir el-Rufai. Usman, a former Chief of Staff to El-Rufai during his first tenure, dismissed the insinuations that her romantic affairs paved way for her to be appointed the head of the maritime agency.

Speaking on a programme aired by Television Continental to mark the International Women’s Day, the NPA boss asserted that El-Rufai is her boss, noting that he has been very supportive of women’s participation in politics. She said, “I am definitely not his (El-Rufai’s) girlfriend. The governor is my mentor and my boss. He has been very supportive of my career and the career of every other woman that has worked for him.”
