President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Mrs. Ibim Semenitari as the new Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC. However, Semenitari is to function in acting capacity pending the appointment of a substantive managing director.
Semenitari, an award-winner journalist and media manager, had served in the Communications Directorate of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation during the 2015 presidential election.
Before then, Semenitari, married to Mr. Henry Semenitari, a former Managing Director, Unity Bank PLC, and himself, a global award-winner banker, had served as Commissioner for Information and Communications in Rivers State under the administration of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
She is married with four children. She is a multiple award winning journalist including the CNN Journalist of the Year award.
