The Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs which started the screening of those nominated into the Board of the Niger Delta Development commission, NDDC, on Thursday, would be completed on Monday.

All the members excerpt the nominee to represent Rivers State, Dr. Joy Yimebe Nunieh and the Northwest representative, Aisha Murtala Muhammed, from Kano State, were screened on Thursday. .

The Committee, however, mandated its Chairman to screen the two remaining nominees on Monday.

First to be screened was a former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Dr. Pius Odubu, as Chairman of the Board of the commission and the nominee for the position of Managing Director of the agency, Bernard Okumagba.

Odubu who was a member of the House of Representatives from 1999 to 2007 was asked to “take a bow and go” in line with the parliamentary tradition of the Senate to extend such courtesies to former members of the National Assembly nominated for appointment.

Chief Bernard Okumagba who was nominated for the post of Managing Director of the intervention agency was also asked to “take a bow and go” after both the Chairman of the Committee, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi and Senator James Manager, representing Delta South, attested to his suitability for the job.
