Tinubu seeks Reps’ confirmation for NDDC board

President Bola Tinubu has requested the House of Representatives’s confirmation of his appointments for the positions of chairman and members of the governing board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

The President’s request is contained in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas, and read at plenary on Tuesday in Abuja.

The President said in the letter: “The section stated that the board and management of NDDC would be appointed by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. This is, however, subject to the confirmation of the Senate in consultation with the House of Representatives.

“In compliance with the provisions of Section 2(2) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (Establishment, etc.) Act, I am pleased to present the underlisted seventeen (17) nominees for the consideration of the House of Representatives. This is for the positions of chairman and members of the Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission.”
