The Senate of Nigeria on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, screened and confirmed the nomination of Rep. Sam Onuigbo as a member of the governing board of the North East Development Commission(NEDC) representing the South East of Nigeria.

Onuigbo, who sponsored Nigeria’s Climate Change Act during his time at the House of Representatives, muted immediately after the screening that he will use his position to drive for the mainstreaming of climate action into the development plans of the North East in order to engender sustainable development within the region.

The former representative of Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency who stated that climate change plays a key role in the insecurity in the North East, said it will be impossible to attain sustainable development without building resilience and integrating climate action in the region’s development plans.

Others screened and confirmed by the Senate are: General Paul Tarfa, Chairman (North East, Adamawa); Frank Achinike Owo Member ( South South, Rivers); Hon Gambo Maikyau member (North East, Taraba); Abdullahi Abbas member (North West, Kano); Zaf Steven Ondora, Member (North Central, Benue); Chief Mutiu Lawal Areh, Member (South West, Lagos); Mohammed Goni Alkali (Managing Director, Borno); Musa Yashi(Executive Director Humanitarian Affairs, Bauchi); Ahmed Abdulsalam Yahaya (Executive Director OPS,Gombe); and Dr. Abubakar Garba Illiya (Executive Director, Admin and Finance, Yobe).

Established by the North-East Development Commission (Establishment) Act, 2017, the NEDC is charged with superintending over the overall development of the North East region of Nigeria.

That's your business, Niggar is gonna cash out big time.

The only I’m writing a comment on this post is because I know it would soon be moved to front page.

My aim here is to call out the hypocrisy of some section of the press or maybe they are commissioned agents.

This Onuigbo man is just one of the nominees who are going to serve as Board members of the North East Development Commission (NEDC). He is serving as the representative of the Southeast in the commission.

A man from Adamawa is the Chairman of the newly appointed board.

While another man from Borno is the Secretary of the Board.

Onuigbo is just a floor member; appointed just to satisfy statutory requirement.

But Yoruba/Agbado Press has made the entire thing about Onuigbo as if he was appointed the chairman of the Commission, and to project it as what Tinubu has done for Igbos/Southeast.

To set the records straight, every geopolitical zone must have a representative in the NEDC; it’s a provision of the law. So, the appointment is not out of Tinubu’s magnanimity.

Same rule in NDDC - every geopolitical zone has representative in the NDDC Board.

Stop all this you fools!

If he’s not an ordinary floor member, is he the chairman or the secretary?

So because his neither, that means he has no role? For him to be there, there most be functions for him to perform like how he stated
