ABUJA — President Bola Tinubu has written to the Senate seeking confirmation of Dr. Zainab Marwa as a member of the Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), representing the North-East geopolitical zone.

The request was contained in a letter read on the floor of the Senate on Thursday by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Tinubu said the nomination was made in line with Section 2 of the NDDC Establishment Act and is intended to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of the former North-East representative, Hon. Abdulrazak Namdas.
