The Concerned Plateau Youth Forum has opposed the nomination of Mr. Cyril Tsenyil as the Managing Director of the newly created North Central Development Commission (NCDC).

The Commission, established by the National Assembly, is responsible for facilitating and accelerating development across the states in the region.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the group’s spokesperson, Danladi Pam, called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately withdraw Tsenyil’s nomination.

The group claims that Tsenyil’s appointment was politically motivated and does not align with the interests of Plateau State’s residents.

Tsenyil, who previously served as the Plateau State Accountant General during Senator Simon Lalong’s tenure as Governor, was nominated for the position through Lalong’s influence.

The group believes that the nomination demonstrates “favoritism, cronyism, and a blatant disregard for competence and broad-based representation.”

It added: “Mr. Tsenyil’s nomination is not only unpopular among Plateau people, but it is also an insult to the collective sensibilities of the North Central region,

“How can such a strategic and sensitive position be handed to someone simply because he served as an accountant to Senator Lalong?

“What were his records during his tenure as accountant? We are calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to withdraw this nomination immediately and ensure a more inclusive, transparent process.”

Additionally, the group revealed plans to send a formal protest letter to the National Assembly leadership, requesting both the Senate and the House of Representatives to reject Tsenyil’s confirmation when his nomination is presented for screening.

“We are submitting a detailed petition to the National Assembly, highlighting why Mr. Tsenyil should not be confirmed. The North Central deserves better. We deserve a competent, visionary, and widely acceptable leader to steer the affairs of the Commission,” the spokesperson added.

The group emphasized the need for merit-based appointments to avoid repeating the mistakes of similar commissions in the past.
