President Muhammadu Buhari has forwarded the name of Lauretta Onochie, to the Senate for confirmation as the substantive chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The president’s request was contained in a letter read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan during the plenary on Wednesday.
The letter also contains 14 others as members of the board.
Recall that Onoche’s name was in July forwarded to the Senate as a Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC but failed to scale through due to some allegations from different quarters like Civil Society Organisations, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and other Nigerians claiming that Onoche is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
