President Bola Tinubu has appointed Abdulrazak Sa’ad Namdas as the new Director-General of the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA).
The appointment was announced on Friday in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Namdas replaces Dr Dakorinama Alabo George, who resigned from the position to pursue an elective office in his home state.
A former member of the House of Representatives representing the Ganye/Jada/Mayo Belwa/Toungo Federal Constituency of Adamawa State, Namdas served as spokesperson of the 8th House of Representatives and was also a governorship aspirant in the recently concluded primary election in Adamawa State.
He is a seasoned journalist and public relations practitioner, and previously served as Chief Press Secretary to former Adamawa State Governor Boni Haruna.
In a separate development, President Tinubu also approved new and reappointed leadership for the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC).
Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon was appointed Executive Director, Strategy and Commercial, replacing Engineer Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama, who resigned to pursue political ambitions in his home state.
Obahiagbon is a former member of both the Edo State House of Assembly and the National Assembly.
The President also reappointed Chukwuma Umeoji as Executive Director, Corporate Services at the NDPHC. Umeoji previously held the same position before stepping down to pursue political ambitions in Anambra State.
A former member of the House of Representatives representing Aguata Federal Constituency in the 9th National Assembly, he returns to the role under the new appointment.
The statement added that all appointments take immediate effect.
