The president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

The president also approved the immediate replacement of the NDDC’s Cross River state representative nominee, Asi Okang, with Orok Duke.

Similarly, the immediate past Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the NDDC, Samuel Ogbuku, is reappointed for a second term.
