President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed his Special Adviser on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, as the substantive Chairman of the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
Buhari forwarded Onochie’s name to the Senate for confirmation.
Buhari’s letter, which was read at plenary by Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, also named 15 others as members of the Board.
Buhari had previously appointed Onochie as a National Commissioner for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) but the Senate rejected her nomination several months ago.
