President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Engr. Chukwuemeka Woke as the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA).

Woke had earlier this month been announced as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority (OORBA).

However, according to a statement issued on Wednesday by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), he is now in charge of NOSDRA. The statement did not give any reason for the change.

The statement informed that besides being an engineer, Engr. Woke is an environmental specialist and politician. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical/Petrochemical Engineering and had served under the Environmental, Safety, and Operations Departments of the then Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). He was the chairman of Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State and Chief of Staff at the Government House, Port Harcourt, for many years.

The statement also disclosed that the president approved the appointment of Dr. Adedeji Ashiru as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority (OORBDA). Dr. Ashiru holds a Doctorate degree in Engineering from the Commonwealth University, UK, and has led a consortium of blue-chip companies, in addition to earning many stripes in his professional endeavor.

The statement said the President expects the new Chief Executive Officers to deploy their competencies to these critical agencies for sustainable gains and turnaround, while maintaining utmost transparency in their operations.
