President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of five executive directors to the North Central Development Commission (NCDC) board. The announcement was made on Tuesday in a statement by the Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen. The appointees include Biliquis Sanni (Administration & Human Resources), Aisha Ibrahim (Commercial and Industrial Development), James Uloko (Corporate Services), Muhammad Bashar (Finance), and Atika Ajanah (Projects).
According to the statement, the directors are expected to support the commission in achieving its statutory mandate. President Tinubu urged the new appointees to work closely with the NCDC governing board in promoting and coordinating the sustainable development of the North-Central geopolitical zone.
The NCDC, established in February 2025 after Tinubu signed its enabling bill into law, was created to drive infrastructure development, address ecological challenges, and promote economic growth across the region. Its jurisdiction covers Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, and Plateau States, as well as the Federal Capital Territory, all of which have faced insecurity, flooding, and other developmental setbacks.
