By TYAV SAM TYAV, Makurdi –
The immediate past Governor of Benue State, Chief Samuel Ortom has congratulated the three sons of the state who have been nominated by President Bola Tinubu to the Board of the North Central Development Commission (NCDC).
A statement by the Media Aide to the former Governor, Terver Akase said Chief Ortom congratulated Barrister Cosmas Akighir, who has been nominated as Chairman of the NCDC Board; Hon. James Abel Uloko, nominated as Executive Director; and Engr. Abraham Atotse as member of the Commission’s Board describing them as round pegs in round holes.
The former Governor according to the statement was optimistic that the trio would use their wealth of experience to pioneer the nascent Commission and galvanize its operations to benefit the people of the region.
Ortom noted that most of the region have been devastated and traumatized by incessant attacks from armed herders and other terrorist groups but expressed the belief that the commission would maximally benefit the region.
The immediate past Governor wished Akighir, Uloko, and Atotse a fruitful tenure at the NCDC.
