President Bola Tinubu has named Abdulrazak Sa’ad Namdas as the new Director General of the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA).

Dr. Namdas succeeds Dr. Dakorinama Alabo George, who stepped down to run for an elective office in his home state.

Namdas, a former member of the House of Representatives for the Ganye/Jada/Mayo Belwa/Toungo federal constituency of Adamawa State, served as the spokesperson of the 8th House of Representatives and was a candidate in the recent Adamawa State governorship primary.

He is also a veteran journalist and public‑relations professional, having worked as Chief Press Secretary to former Governor Boni Haruna of Adamawa State.

In addition, President Tinubu has appointed Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon as Executive Director, Strategy & Commercial, of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC).

President Tinubu also reappointed Mr. Chukwuma Umeoji as Executive Director, Corporate Services, of the NDPHC.

Obahiagbon replaces Engineer Omoregie Ogbeide‑Ihama, who resigned from the same position to pursue a political career in his home state.

Obahiagbon previously served in both the Edo State House of Assembly and the National Assembly.

Mr. Umeoji, a former member of the Federal House of Representatives for the Aguata Federal Constituency of Anambra State in the 9th National Assembly, returned to the role after resigning to chase a political opportunity in his home state.

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga stated, “all appointments are effective immediately.”
