Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, Ag. MD NDDC

 A one time  President  of Abua/Odual Students and a Chapter president of National Union Of Rivers State Student (NURSS) in Rivers State College of Health Science and Technology, Port  Harcourt Comrade Obinnah Churchill Idiowa has asked President Mohammadu Buhari, to ignore calls by Youth Groups in Akwa Ibom State, under the aegis of Federated Akwa Ibom Youths Association (FAYA), seeking the discontinue stay in office of  Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, the acting managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

Comrade Obinnah urged Mr. President to ignore such ill-advised calls and do the needful by appointing Mrs. Ibim Semenitari who is a competent indigene of the Niger Delta Region as the substantive Managing Director of the Commission.

Mrs. Semenitari was appointed in December 2015 as the Acting Managing Director of the commission has recorded lots of achievement and will do more if given the opportunity as the MD, NDDC. 

Reacting to the call, Comrade Obinnah  say it is the height level of greed, betrayal and covetousness for anybody or group of persons in a sister Niger Delta state to attempt to usurp the position of the Rivers State, even when it is legally that appointment of  NDDC Managing Director is rotational among the Niger Delta States.
 
“Those who crafted the NDDC Act were very clear on the clause of rotating the position of the Managing Director of the commission amongst the states”, he said.

He promised that the students and youths of the state would always maintain the peace and remain law abiding, as they believe in his drive towards making the country corruption free, thereby bestowing to generations yet unborn a Nigeria where justice, equity and fairness prevails.
