President Bola
Tinubu has reappointed Mohammed Alkali as the managing director of the
North-East Development Commission (NEDC).
Alkali, pioneer managing director of the commission, was
first appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari did not renew the appointment of Alkali before
leaving office.
Sadiya Umar, former minister of humanitarian affairs, had reportedly wanted Abu Hashidu as MD.
In May, Shehu Garba, a former presidential spokesperson,
said Buhari ordered the Hashidu board to commence duties without senate
confirmation.
In a letter read by Godswill Akpabio, president of the
senate, on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on Wednesday, Tinubu
requested that Alkali be screened for another term of four years.
The president based his request on section 5(b) of the North-East
Development Commission establishment act of 2017.
Here is the list of other nominees of the board:
- Paul
Tarfa (chairman)
- Gambo
Maikomo
- Abdullahi

Steven Aondoana

Lawal Are
