Maurice Ojo-Ede, Founder of OMO Foundation, Visits National Assembly in Solidarity with South-South Development Commission Nominee

Dr. Maurice Ojo-Ede, the founder of the renowned OMO Foundation, was earlier today sighted at the National Assembly complex in Abuja, where he joined other dignitaries to witness the ongoing screening and confirmation process of the newly appointed board members of the South-South Development Commission.

The high-profile screening exercise, which is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s renewed effort to reposition the South-South region for sustainable development, was conducted under the distinguished leadership of Sen. Benson Sunday Konbowei, Chairman of the relevant Senate Committee, alongside his Vice Chairman, Sen. Asuquo Ekpenyong.

Dr. Ojo-Ede’s presence at the National Assembly was specifically to show solidarity and unwavering support for Hon. Timi Tonye, Ph.D., the Delta State nominee for the position of Executive Director in the South-South Development Commission.

A staunch advocate for regional growth, empowerment, and youth development, Dr. Ojo-Ede’s presence underscores his continued commitment to the socio-economic advancement of the South-South. Through the OMO Foundation, he has remained at the forefront of philanthropic interventions across education, health, and human capital development in the region.

Observers at the screening described his visit as a morale booster and a strong message of unity among South-South stakeholders who are passionate about repositioning the region for prosperity and inclusive governance.

The final confirmation of the nominees is expected to pave the way for the full commencement of the Commission’s operations, with many hoping that appointees like Dr. Timi Tonye will bring renewed energy, capacity, and vision to the development of the region.
