President Bola Tinubu has approved the nomination of four new members to the Governing Council of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), filling existing vacancies and strengthening the board’s capacity.
The approved nominees include Mr Olusegun Omosehin of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) and Engr Wole Ogunsanya of the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN).
Tinubu also endorsed the nomination of Mazi Sam Onyechi, who represents the Nigerian Content Consultative Forum (NCCF), and Barr Owei Oyanbo from the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Mr Bayo Onanuga, his spokesman, said in a statement on Thursday.
The statement said the nominations arose from the exit of previous institutional representatives from the Governing Council.

The institutions include the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN).
Others are the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), the Nigerian Content Consultative Forum (NCCF) and the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
