The Niger State House of Assembly has urged the Executive Arm of Government and representatives of the state at the National Assembly to impress on the Federal Government on the need to appoint the Managing Director of the Hydroelectric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPPADEC) from amongst the member states of the commission.

This resolution was passed following a Motion brought by Abubakar Suleiman Gomna, member representing Bosso Constituency in the  House. He pointed out that the HYPPPADEC Act provides that the appointment should be among members states.

Gomna told his colleagues, ” there has been a public outcry over the recent appointment of an Oyo State indigene, Mrs Tomi Somefun as the Managing Director of HYPPADEC by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which is contrary to what is provided for in section 12(2)(a) of the HYPPADEC Act”

The Act clearly stipulates that the Managing Director shall be appointed from only amongst the Member States of HYPPADEC and such appointment shall be on rotational basis”.

He noted that the HYPPADEC Act is a Federal Legislation and that as representatives of the people, they have the mandate to lend their voice against this aberration.

After presentation of the motion and subsequent deliberations, the House unanimously adopted all the prayers of the motion.

The house resolved to send it’s resolution to other member states of HYSTPADEC and members of the National Assembly.

The Deputy Speaker, Afiniki Eunice Dauda who presided over the sitting, constituted an 8-man delegation to visit the National Assembly to officially submit the Resolution of the House.

The delegation include members representing Bosso, Tafa, Borgu, Bida II, Lapai, Paikoro, Suleja, and Rafi constituencies.
