President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Dr. Nkiruka Maduekwe as the director-general/chief executive officer of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC).
Tinubu also appointed Mr. Ibrahim Abdullahi Shelleng, as the senior special assistant to the president on climate finance and Mr. Olamide Fagbuji, as the senior special assistant to the president on climate technology and operations.
Ex-President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointee, Tolu Ogunlesi, disclosed this in a statement shared on his X page on Sunday, June 9.
Ogunlesi noted that George Akume, the secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), announced and confirmed the appointments.
The appointments, according to the statement, would be confirmed by the NCCC Supervisory Council.
He tweeted:
In another development, President Tinubu removed Chukwuemeka Woke as the managing director of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority (OORBDA).
Woke was the chief of staff to the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, when he was governor of Rivers state. This came after the appointment was greeted with protests as some groups and individuals said it was against the principle of familiarity and regional representation.
In a statement on Wednesday, May 22, Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesman, announced that Woke had been replaced with Dr. Adedeji Ashiru.
