Appointment of Dogara as NCGC chair is reward for loyalty, says Bauchi APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Dass/Tafawa Balewa/Bogoro federal constituency of Bauchi has commended President Bola Tinubu over the recent appointment of Yakubu Dogara. 

Tinubu appointed Dogara, a former speaker of the house of representatives, as chairman of the National Credit Guarantee Company (NCGC).

In a statement signed by Rabiu Garba on behalf of 27 APC stakeholders, the group said the appointment is “timely, well-deserved and meritorious”.

“The appointment of Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara to serve in this administration affirms our testimony that he has remained steadfast with the APC, its stakeholders and his constituents,” the statement reads.

“He is never left out in any contribution to promote the party and the progressive agenda.”

They said Dogara’s leadership as speaker of the 8th assembly laid the foundation for several legislative reforms.

It listed the passage of over 300 bills and more than 1,000 resolutions during his stint, including the establishment of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill (PIGB), and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Bill.

The APC stakeholders expressed confidence that Dogara’s experience and integrity would enhance the effectiveness of the NCGC in improving access to credit for small businesses and middle-income earners.

They also pledged their continued support for the Tinubu administration.
