President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Abdulrazak Sa'ad Namdas as the Director-General of the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA).
Namdas succeeds Dr. Dakorinama Alabo George, who resigned from the position to contest for an elective office in his home state.
The new BCDA chief is a former member of the House of Representatives, where he represented the Ganye/Jada/Mayo Belwa/Toungo Federal Constituency of Adamawa State. He served as spokesperson for the 8th House of Representatives and was an aspirant in the recent Adamawa State governorship primary election.
Before joining partisan politics, Namdas built a career in journalism and public relations. He also served as Chief Press Secretary to former Adamawa State Governor Boni Haruna.
In a separate appointment, President Tinubu named Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon as Executive Director, Strategy and Commercial, of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC).
Obahiagbon replaces Engineer Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, who resigned to pursue his political ambition in his home state. He previously served in the Edo State House of Assembly and the National Assembly.
The President also reappointed Mr. Chukwuma Umeoji as Executive Director, Corporate Services, of the NDPHC.
Umeoji, a former member of the House of Representatives who represented Aguata Federal Constituency of Anambra State in the 9th National Assembly, returns to the position after stepping down to pursue his political ambition.
According to a statement issued on Friday by the President's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, all the appointments take immediate effect.
