Similarly, he applauded the choice of Dr. Clifford Ogbede, from Imo State as the Executive Director, Agriculture, Rural Development and Natural Resources, Barrister Sylvester Okonkwo as the Executive Director, Corporate Services and Senator Anthony Agbo, from Ebonyi as Executive Director, Commercial Services.
