The Senate on Tuesday confirmed 15 nominees for the Board of the
Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The confirmation of the16th nominee, Dr Joy Nunieh, was however
declined by the upper chamber due to the nominee’s failure to
appear before the Senate committee on Niger Delta Affairs which
screened the nominees last week.
This was sequel to the presentation of the report of the Senate
committee on Niger Delta Affairs which recommended the confirmation
of 15 out of the 16 nominees for the Board of the NDDC.
After the presentation of the report at plenary by the committee
Chairman, Senator Nwaoboshi, the Senate at its committee of the
Whole considered the report before confirming the nominees and
rejecting the only nominee that failed to appear before the Senate
for screening.
The confirmed nominees include former Deputy Governor of Edo
state, Dr Pius Odubu (Chairman); Bernard Okumagba (Delta) Managing
Director; Otobong Ndem (Akwa Ibom)-Executive Director, Projects;
Maxwell Oko (Bayelsa)-Executive Director, Finance and
Administration; Jones Erue (Delta); Victor Ekhator (Edo); Nwogu N
Nwogu (Abia) and Theodore Allison (Bayelsa).
Others include Victor Antai (Akwa Ibom); Maurice Effiwat (Cross
River); Olugbenga Edema (Ondo); Uchegbu Kyrian (Imo); Aisha
Muhammed (North West); Shuaibu Zubairu (North East) and Abdullahu
Bage (North Central).
President Muhammadu Buhari had in a letter to the Senate
President, Dr Ahmad Lawan, asked the Senate to confirm the
nomination of a 16-man Board for the Niger Delta Development
Commission (NDDC).
The two-paragraph letter dated October 18 but read at plenary on
Tuesday, October 29, by Lawan read in part, “in accordance with the
provision of section 2(2)(a) of the Niger Delta Development
Commission (NDDC) (Establishment) Act, 2000, I write to forward for
confirmation by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the
underlisted nominees for appointment into the NDDC board to occupy
the positions indicated against their names.
