President Bola Tinubu has approved the immediate replacement of the Niger Delta Development Commission’s
(NDDC) Ondo State Representative nominee, Mr. Victor Akinjo, with a new Ondo State Representative nominee, Hon. Otito Atikase.
The President has equally approved the immediate replacement of the NDDC’s Cross River State Representative nominee, Mr. Asi Oku Okang, with a new Cross River State Representative, Rt. Hon. Orok Otuk Duke.
Furthermore, the immediate past Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer of the NDDC, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, is reappointed to a second term and will remain in acting capacity, pending the Senate’s confirmation of his reappointment.
President Tinubu had on Tuesday, approved the appointment of new board and management of the NDDC through a statemnet by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale.
The replacement of the two states’ nominees was due to complaints that they belong to opposition parties and indeed campaigned against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last general elections.
