President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Chukwuemeka Woke as the managing director and chief executive officer of the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority.
This is contained in a statement by presidential aide Ajuri Ngelale on Thursday in Abuja.

He said Mr Woke had served as the chairman of Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers and was the chief of staff to former Governor Nyesom Wike for many years.
The presidential aide said the president expected the new appointee to discharge his duties with integrity and in conformity with the highest standards of transparency.
Mr Ngelale added that Mr Tinubu directed Mr Woke to harness and develop the water resource potential of the area and ensure that the authority becomes a channel for holistic and integrated industrial, agricultural, and community development.
