Tinubu appoints Chukwuemeka Woke, former Chief of Staff to Governor Nyesom Wike, as Managing Director of Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority, signaling his commitment to regional development.
Woke’s extensive experience in engineering and politics positions him to lead efforts in harnessing water resources and fostering holistic development in the region.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Chukwuemeka Woke as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority.
VerseNews reports that the announcement was made on Thursday in a statement by Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity titled ‘President Tinubu appoints managing director of Ogun-Osun river basin development authority’.
Woke, described as a seasoned engineer and politician, has previously held positions such as Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State and Chief of Staff at the Port Harcourt Government House.
The Ogun–Osun River Basin Development Authority, established by the Federal Government, falls under the Ministry of Water Resources.
Formally inaugurated in 1977, its mandate includes water resource management and integrated development initiatives.
Tinubu emphasized the importance of integrity and transparency in Woke’s role, urging him to prioritize the region’s water resources for industrial, agricultural, and community development.
Woke, previously a chief of staff to former Rivers governor Nyesome Wike, resigned from the cabinet of Governor Siminalayi Fubara in December 2023.
