Both Uchegbu and Nwauwa are from Izombe in Oguta LGA of Imo State.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5071143035ydpaf0b4310MsoNoSpacing\">Meanwhile,\u00a0President Muhammadu Buhari has, subject to Senate confirmation, approved the composition of the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) made up of the following persons:<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv5071143035ydpaf0b4310MsoNoSpacing\">\u00a0Chairman Dr. Pius Odubu Edo, Managing Director Bernard O.
