The Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs screened Lauretta Onochie and 14 other nominees for their appointments as chair and members of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
Ms Onochie, currently a special assistant to the president on new media, appeared before the panel on Thursday for the screening process. She and the other nominees were appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari on 23 November.
She was enmeshed in a controversial appointment into the electoral umpire, INEC, in 2020 when she was named a national commissioner to represent Delta State.
