However, the three nominees have been replaced with Ja’afar Abubakar Sadeeq and Yahaya Aminu Abdulhadi, while the new NWDC chairman is Alh Lawal Samai’la Abdullahi.

Professor Abdullahi Shehu Ma’aji retains his position as pioneer managing director and chief executive officer of the new interventionist agency.

Other board members featured on the first list are Dr. Yahaya Umar Namahe, Yahaya Aminu Abdulhadi, and Engr. Muhammad Ali Wudil, Shamsu Sule, Nasidi Ali and Aminu Suleiman.
