Two Cross Riverians, Bassey Ewa-Henshaw and Paul Andeshi Adah, have been nominated to the Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ewa-Henshaw, who not too long ago, represented CR’s Southern senatorial District in the National Assembly, will when the Senate does clear him, function as Chairman, NDDC, while Adah, who once represented Bekwarra/Obanliku Federal Constituency in Nigeria’s House of Representatives, will when also cleared, function as a Commissioner in the NDDC.
Their nominations come in the wake of the dissolution of the NDDC’s Board on September 13, 2011, while this reconstitution is in line with Section 2 (1) of the NDDC Act.
