Residents of Abuja stormed the National Assembly on Wednesday to protest the appointment of Mr. Solomon Adodo, a native of Benue State, to the board of the newly formed North Central Development Commission (NCDC).

They called upon Senate President Godswil Akpabio to annul the appointment.

Naijaonpoint understands that the FCT Youth Stakeholders’ Forum organised the protest.

The protesters were seen carrying placards with different inscriptions such as “NCDC is not only for Benue State’, ‘Senator Akpabio don’t shortchange people of the FCT’, ‘Benue state has three representatives already,’ ‘Adodo is from Benue State,” among others.
