Naija News earlier reported that President Buhari in a letter forwarded to the Senate announced the nomination of Onochie as NDDC boss and 15 others as board members.

The President in the letter which was read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan on the floor of the Upper Chamber on Wednesday requested the Senate to confirm the nominees.

They are Samuel Ibukun as Managing Director, Charles Ehigie Airhiavbere, Director of Finance; Charles Ogunmola, Director of Project; Dimgba Erugba (Abia), Ene Wilcox (Akwa Ibom), Pius Odudu (Edo), Gbenga Odegba (Ondo), Anthony Ekene (Imo) and Onyekachi Dimgba (Rivers).

Others are Mohammed Kabiru Abubakar (Nasarawa), Tallen Mamma (Adamawa) and Sodique Sani (Bauhci).

However, following the development, some Nigerian have taken to social media to react to Onochie’s appointment s NDDC boss.

This is not the first time the President would nominate Onochie for a position that is subject to the confirmation of the Senate.
