“The position of Secretary to the Commission does not require Senate confirmation and, therefore, by the directive of the President, the appointment of Mr. Clifford Okwudiri Oparaodu as Secretary of the Commission takes immediate effect.

“Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu has embarked upon many far-reaching reforms as the Attorney General of Jigawa State since September 2019 and holds Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate degrees in Law. He was also named as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria-designate in October 2023.

“Mr. Clifford Okwudiri Oparaodu is a lawyer with over 30 years of experience and has served meritoriously in the public service as a Member of the Rivers State Judicial Service Commission and Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of Port Harcourt City Local Government Council.

“The President implores the new management team of the ICPC to always be above board as they discharge their duties without fear or favour concerning all matters before them.”

Similarly, the President also approved the appointment of Ahmed Aminu as the Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) for a four-year term in the first instance.

According to Ngelale’s statement, “The new PTDF Executive Secretary/CEO has most recently served as the General Manager of the Education and Training Department of the Fund.

“His appointment follows the application for retirement submitted by the outgoing Executive Secretary/CEO, Bello Gusau, to proceed on 90-day pre-retirement leave, beginning on September 26.

The president has directed the PTDF new boss to serve in acting capacity until he commences his fresh term of four years in office, beginning on December 26.
