Tinubu Appoints Four New Members to NCDMB Governing Council (Full List)

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of four new members to the Governing Council of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB). The move aims to strengthen the board’s role in driving local content growth in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

According to a statement released on Thursday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the newly appointed members are Mr. Olusegun Omosehin from the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), Engr. Wole Ogunsanya of the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN), Mazi Sam Azoka Onyechi representing the Nigerian Content Consultative Forum (NCCF), and Barrister Owei Oyanbo from the Ministry of Petroleum Resources.

These appointments replace outgoing institutional representatives, ensuring the council remains fully constituted and capable of fulfilling its mandate. The NCDMB Governing Council, established under Section 69 of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act, 2010, plays a vital role in promoting Nigerian participation in the oil and gas sector. Its membership includes representatives from key institutions such as the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), COREN, PETAN, NCCF, and NAICOM.

President Tinubu urged the new appointees to bring their expertise and dedication to advancing local content development, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to economic growth and job creation in the oil and gas sector.
