Oil producing communities in Ondo State have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that one of the key positions on the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is zoned to the state.
The communities advised Buhari to ensure that only credible people are appointed to serve on the NDDC board.
A statement by its Leaders Forum at the weekend said the “decision to zone the Managing Director (MD), Executive Director Projects (EDP) and Executive Director Finance (EDFA)” to Ondo State was a welcome development.
The group’s coordinator, Rotimi Omomuwasan and Secretary Erukusi Womisan said the communities had endorsed Fadaini Steve to vie for the EDP position.
The oil communities have also recommended Oluwole Omowole as the state’s nominee on the board.
