*NDDC BOARD: THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT*
On behalf of the State Working Committee and the entire membership of the Akwa Ibom State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), we want to commend President Muhammadu Buhari on the reconstitution of the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
We are indeed delighted at the high quality of appointees to the new Board of the Commission and want to register our appreciation of the President’s careful and well-considered choices which reflect deep concern for experience, competence and integrity. We are confident that the new Board under the able chairmanship of the highly experienced Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba will effectively steer the affairs of the Commission for the fulfilment of its mandate to the people of the Niger Delta.
We thank the President for the nomination of His Excellency, Obong Nsima Ekere for the position of Managing Director of the NDDC. We equally thank the President for the nomination of Hon. Samuel Frank as Commissioner designate representing Akwa Ibom State on the Board of the Commission.
HE Ekere, former Deputy Governor of our dear state, is the right pick for the top job at the Commission in terms of track record, exposure and other indicators of leadership ability. We have strong confidence in him and believe that he will discharge the Office of Managing Director of the Commission with utmost prudence, dedication and exemplary sense of duty.
We are also delighted at the choice of the Commissioner designate for the Commission from the state. Hon. Frank is known for his self-control, loyalty to any cause he believes in and commitment to duty.
We want to once again thank the President and wish all the appointees to the new Board of the NDDC every success in their new assignments.
