Tinubu had on June 26, 2026, announced Namdas as the new Director-General of the BCDA, replacing Dr Dakorinama Alabo George, who had resigned from the position to pursue his political ambition in Rivers State.
Six weeks after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced the appointment of former House of Representatives member Abdulrazak Sa’ad Namdas as Director-General of the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA), the Adamawa politician is yet to receive the appointment letter required for him to formally assume office.
The delay has triggered fresh controversy at the agency, with Namdas’ Chamba community in Adamawa State appealing to President Tinubu to intervene and direct the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, to issue the appointment letter.
Tinubu had on June 26, 2026, announced Namdas as the new Director-General of the BCDA, replacing Dr Dakorinama Alabo George, who had resigned from the position to pursue his political ambition in Rivers State.
The Presidency said at the time that the appointment was effective immediately.
