In a bold move to enhance agricultural development and resource management, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Hamman Dikko as the Executive Director of Agricultural Services for the Upper Benue River Basin Development Authority. This decision underscores the President’s determination to empower key sectors of the economy with dynamic leadership.
The Upper Benue River Basin Development Authority oversees Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe, and Bauchi states, playing a crucial role in improving agricultural productivity and water resource management. Hamman Dikko, an indigene of Adamawa State, will lead agricultural initiatives within the authority's jurisdiction, leveraging his extensive experience to drive growth and sustainability.
The restructured leadership team also includes Alhaji Sanusi Mohammed Babantanko (Chairman, Bauchi), Samuel Mahmud Mohammed (Managing Director, Taraba), Hon. Usman Babandubu Bakare (Executive Director, Engineering, Taraba), Ibrahim Dasuki Jalo (Executive Director, Finance, Gombe), and Hon. Isa Matori (Executive Director, Planning and Design, Bauchi). Together, they are tasked with delivering on the authority’s mandate of sustainable resource development.
This appointment forms part of a nationwide restructuring of 12 River Basin Development Authorities under the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, a move aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and service delivery across Nigeria.
President Tinubu’s commitment to revitalizing the agricultural sector and fostering economic growth is evident in these strategic appointments, which promise significant benefits for the residents of Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe, and Bauchi states.
