President Muhamadu Buhari has sacked Effiong Akwa, the sole
administrator of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
In a statement on Thursday by Patricia Deworitshe, director
of press, ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, the president also announced the
constitution of a new management team and governing board of the NDDC.
In December 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari removed
Kemebradikumo Pondei as acting managing director of the NDDC — appointing Akwa
as the head of the agency.
According to the statement, the names of the new management
team and governing board will be transmitted to the national assembly for
approval.
“President Muhammadu
Buhari has approved the disengagement of the Interim Administrator of the Niger
Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr Effiong Okon Akwa, from his post with
effect from today, 20 October 2022,” the statement reads.
“Mr Akwa was appointed interim administrator of the
Commission for the duration of the Forensic Audit into the operations of the
NDDC, which has now been concluded.
“President Buhari has also approved the constitution of a
new Management Team and Governing Board of the NDDC in line with section 5(2)
of the NDDC Act, 2000. The names of the nominees for the new management team
and Governing Board are to be transmitted to the National Assembly for
approval.”
