President Bola Tinubu has approved the replacement of Victor Akinjo as the Ondo State representative nominated to the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

The president directed that Akinjo should be replaced with Otito Atikase.

Tinubu also replaced Asi Oku Okang, the Cross River state nominee, with Orok Otuk Duke.

Recall that the nomination of Akinjo and Okang had elicited criticism, particularly from members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
