President Bola Tinubu has sacked 2 Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) representatives.
He also ordered their immediate replacement. Victor Akinjo Ondo State Representative nominee was replaced by Hon. Otito Atikase.
This was made known in a statement on Saturday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.
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.
This appears to be in response to the protest of the APC, Cross River State chapter who insisted during a rally, that Okang whom they allege is a member of the PDP was imposed on them.
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 an acting capacity, pending the Senate’s confirmation of his reappointment.
The president also approved the appointment of Chiedu Ebie as the chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission board.
