Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has nominated Haruna Ginsau as the pioneer Chairman of the North West Development Commission (NWDC), following his recent appointment of Emeka Atuma as the Chairman of the South East Development Commission (SEDC).
The appointments, seen as a strategic move to enhance regional development, underscore President Tinubu’s commitment to equitable growth across Nigeria.
This was disclosed via a statement by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Ononuga on Friday, 6th of December 2024.
The statement partly reads:
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has forwarded to the Senate for confirmation a modified list of members of the inaugural Governing Board of the North West Development Commission (NWDC) as he nominated Hon. Emeka Atuma as chairman of the South East Development Commission (SEDC).
“In a list of nominees sent to the Senate late in September 2024, President Tinubu nominated Ambassador Haruna Ginsau as chairman of the NWDC board while also naming Senator Tijani Yahaya Kaura and Hon. Abdulkadir S. Usman as members.
“The new list replaced them with Ja’afar Abubakar Sadeeq and Yahaya Aminu Abdulhadi, while the new chairman is Alh Lawal Samai’la Abdullahi.
“Professor Abdullahi Shehu Ma’aji retains his position as managing director and chief executive officer.
“Other board members featured on the first list are Dr. Yahaya Umar Namahe, Yahaya Aminu Abdulhadi, and Engr. Muhammad Ali Wudil, Shamsu Sule, Nasidi Ali and Aminu Suleiman.
“After receiving the President’s first list of nominations, the Senate adjusted the NWDC’s establishment act to accommodate members from other geo-political zones.
“President Tinubu complied with the adjustment in the new list, with the following named to represent the six zones:
“They are Chukwu Chijioke, Ahmed Mohammed, Engr. Ahmed Rufai Timasaniyu and Macdonalds Michael Uyi. Others are Yemi Ola and Hon. Babatunde Dada.
“President Tinubu has equally appointed Hon. Emeka Atuma as Chairman and Hon. Mark C. Okoye as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), subject to their confirmation by the Senate.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
