President Hage Geingob appointed Ndeitunga and relieved Walde Ndevashiya of his duties.

State House Press Secretary Dr. Alfredo Hengari made the announcement, stating that Ndeitunga is expected to ensure that all programmes and projects in the Ohangwena are fully implemented in line with the budgetary allocations.

He has further been directed to coordinate his functions with offices, ministries, and agencies to achieve efficient service delivery for the inhabitants of the region.
