President Muhammadu Buhari has sent the names of three new Niger Delta Development Commission Board Nominees to the Nigerian Senate for the replacement of those rejected last year.
This was revealed today by Senate President, Bukola Saraki who read the letter from Buhari at the plenary. The names are - Lucky Omirisan, Hon. Chuka and Nwogu N.Nwogu from Ondo, Imo and Abia States respectively.
The Nigerian Senate had rejected 3 out of 19 NDDC Board nominees in October 2016 on grounds that they were not from oil producing areas in their respective states.
