President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Engr. Chukwuemeka Woke as the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA).
Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Woke was Chief of Staff to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike during his time as Rivers State Governor.
Recall that Woke was earlier appointed as the Executive Officer of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority (OORBDA), a development that did not go down well with some stakeholders.
However, the Presidency has now announced Dr. Adedeji Ashiru as Woke’s replacement in OORBDA.
The President urged the new Chief Executive Officers to deploy their competencies to these critical agencies for sustainable gains and turnaround, while maintaining utmost transparency in their operations.
