\n
President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Ambassador Desmond Akawor as a Federal Commissioner of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), pending the confirmation of the Nigerian Senate.<\/p>\n
A statement by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity on Thursday, noted that the new RMAFC Federal Commissioner, who represents Rivers State, is being appointed following the tragic demise of the immediate past commissioner from the state, Hon. Asondu Wenah Temple, earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Akawor has served the nation as Nigeria\u2019s Ambassador to South Korea; Minister of State of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT); Sole Administrator of the Greater Port Harcourt Development Authority; CEO, Niger Delta River Basin Development Authority, and Executive Director, Nigerian Ports Authority (Engineering & Technical Services).<\/p>\n
The President tasked the new commissioner to deploy his robust experience across tiers of government toward the comprehensive reformation of processes that will ensure the most efficient and productive utilization of allocations to all three tiers of government.<\/p>\n
