 Senate Confirms Ex-Deputy Speaker as South-South Development Commission Chairman


The Nigerian Senate on Thursday confirmed former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chibudom Nwuche, as Chairman of the newly established South-South Development Commission. The Senate also confirmed Usoro Offiong Akpabio from Akwa Ibom State as the Commission’s Managing Director, alongside 13 other board members and five executive directors.


The confirmation process, however, was not without controversy.

The appointments were finalized following the Senate’s adoption of the report by the Committee on South-South Development Commission.
