Anambra Govt Applauds Buhari Over Offodile’s Appointment As NIMASA Director
Anambra State Government says President Muhammadu’s appointment of Chudi Offodile as an Executive Director of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), is in fulfillment of his promise during the 2019 electioneering campaign to appoint persons from Anambra State and the Southeast geopolitical zone into strategic positions.
Offodile was on Wednesday announced the new NIMASA Executive Director in charge of Finance following the reorganization of the agency’s top management.
Anambra Govt in a statement in Awka, signed by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, described Offodile as eminently deserving of the appointment.
Offodile, a lawyer, political analyst, and author represented the Awka North and South Federal Constituency in the National Assembly from 1999 to 2005 and was simultaneously Chairman of the Sub Committee on Gas and Chairman of the Special Committee on Joint Venture Oil Operations, later heading the Committee on Public Petitions.
According to Commissioner Adinuba, Offodile was one of the first major investors in the state following the restoration of democratic rule in Nigeria in 1999 and encouraged many people from Anambra State to follow his bold example of Think Home.
“His impressive record, made Anambra Govt Governor Willie Obiano appoint him last December a member of the Anambra State Vision 2070 Committee, a group drawing up a strategic plan to make the state attain the status of a fully developed entity in the next 50 years.
“We still expect more key appointments because all the people the president has appointed from our state and the Southeast geopolitical zone, have always displayed outstanding competence, integrity, and loyalty,” the statement read.
