Tinubu approves three key appointments in BCDA, NDPHC
President Bola Tinubu has approved three new appointments across federal establishments, naming former lawmakers to key leadership positions in the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) and the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC).
The appointments were announced in a statement issued on Friday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. The appointments take immediate effect.
Under the new appointments, Abdulrazak Sa’ad Namdas has been named Director-General of the Border Communities Development Agency.
Namdas, a journalist and public relations practitioner, previously served as Chief Press Secretary to former Adamawa State Governor Boni Haruna. He also represented his constituency in the 8th House of Representatives, where he served as the chamber’s spokesperson.
He succeeds Dr Dakorinama Alabo George, who resigned from the position to contest an elective office in his home state.
“Dr Namdas replaces Dr Dakorinama Alabo George, who resigned to contest for an elective post in his home state,” the statement said.
At the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, President Tinubu appointed Patrick Obahiagbon as Executive Director, Strategy and Commercial.
Obahiagbon, a former member of both the Edo State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives, replaces Engineer Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, who resigned to pursue his political ambition.
“Obahiagbon replaces Engineer Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, who resigned from his position as Executive Director, Strategy and Commercial, to pursue his political aspiration in his home state,” the statement added.
The President also reappointed Chukwuma Umeoji as Executive Director, Corporate Services, at the Niger Delta Power Holding Company.
Umeoji, who represented Aguata Federal Constituency of Anambra State in the 9th House of Representatives, returns to the position after previously resigning to pursue a political ambition.
