NDDC BOARD OF DIRECTORS SACKED, BUHARI NAMED SEMENTARI AS ACTING MD

After dissolving the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission and then fired the Managing Director of the commission, Bassey Dan-Abia, President Buhari has named Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, an ex-Commissioner of Information and Communications in Rivers State who served under   Rotimi Amaechi's administration  as the Acting Managing Director of the commission.
A number of corrupt allegations,  bothering on abandonment of projects across the Niger Delta region, were levelled against the dissolved Board of the NDDC.

A released statement says, “President Muhammadu Buhari has named Mrs. Ibim Semenitari the new Managing Director, Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC. However, Semenitari is to function in acting capacity pending the appointment of a substantive MD."

“Semenitari an award-winner journalist and media manager, had served in the Communications Directorate of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation during the 2015 presidential election.”
