Tinubu Replaces Nominees For SEDC Board 24 Hours After
President Bola Tinubu has replaced key nominees for the Governing Board of the South East Development Commission (SEDC) barely 24 hours after nominating them.
The President has replaced Mr Emeka Atuma with Dr Emeka Nworgu as nominee chairman for the Board.
Tinubu has also replaced all the three Executive Directors who were nominated the previous day and included two new others on the board.
A statement on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said, “The President also removed one of the board members, Donatus Eyinnah Nwankpa.
“However, Hon. Mark C. Okoye retains his position as the Commission’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer on the 16-member board, one more member than the initial board.
“The new Executive Director for Finance is Stanley Ohajuruka, who replaced Anthony Ugbo in the first list.
“Toby Okechukwu is the new executive director of projects. He replaces Obinna Obiekweihe. Chief Sylvester Okonkwo is now the executive director of corporate services, replacing Dr Daniel Ikechukwu Ugwuja.
“The two nominated executive directors without a portfolio are Chidi Echeazu and Dr Clifford Ogbede.
“The President retained Barr. Ugochukwu H. Agballah, Hon. Okey Ezenwa, Chief Hyacinth Ikpor, Barr. Ifeanyi Agwu, Nasiru Usman and Hamma Adama Ali Kumo.
“The other nominees retained are Edward David Onoja, Orure Kufre Inima and Chief (Mrs.) Joke Adebayo-Chukwuma.”
Onanuga said President Tinubu expects the new nominees, as pioneers, to use their wealth of experience and expertise to actualise the Commission’s mandate and develop the South East region.
All the nominations are subject to Senate confirmation.
