Buhari had written to the Senate requesting confirmation of the Chairman and Members of the NDDC Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2(2)(a) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (Establishment) Act.

Buhari has forwarded a list of nominees for the NDDC board for confirmation for the second time.

In 2021, he sent the first list of nominees to the board, which the Senate screened and confirmed.

Senate President Ahmad Lawan, on the other hand, stated that Buhari’s decision to send another list of nominees for confirmation was due to a flaw in the previous compilation.

1. Chairman – Laureta Ifeanyi Onochie (Delta, South-South)
