Denzil Amagbe Kentebe is to take over from Ernest Nwapa who has been the executive secretary of the NCDMB since 2010 while Asabe Asmau Ahmed succeeds Sharon Adefunke Kasali, who has been executive secretary of PEF since 2007.

A statement from Reuben Abati, presidential spokesman made the announcement Tuesday in Abuja. The new PEF executive secretary hails from Niger State and holds Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, respectively.
