Tinubu Approves Former Rivers PDP Chairman, Desmond Akawor as Federal Commissioner
The appointment of the former
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Ambassador Desmond Akawor as a Federal Commissioner of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) has been approved by President Tinubu.
This was disclosed in a statement on Thursday by the Presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale.
Ajuri said the appointment is subject to the confirmation of the senate saying that the new RMAFC Federal Commissioner to represent Rivers was appointed following the tragic demise of the immediate past RMAFC Federal Commissioner from Rivers State, Hon. Asondu Wenah Temple, earlier this month.
President Tinubu, however, urged the new Federal Commissioner to deploy his robust experience across tiers of government toward the comprehensive reformation of processes that would ensure the most efficient and productive utilization of allocations to all three tiers of government in Nigeria.
The statement read,
“Ambassador Akawor is a decorated public servant who has served the nation as Nigeria’s Ambassador to South Korea; Minister of State of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT); Sole Administrator of the Greater Port Harcourt Development Authority; CEO, Niger Delta River Basin Development Authority, and Executive Director, Nigerian Ports Authority (Engineering & Technical Services),”.
