The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has been praised for its commitment to transforming the region under the leadership of Chief Sam Ogbuku.
According to Mr Jonathan Eneh, an opinion leader in the region, the NDDC has made significant strides in road infrastructure, electrification, healthcare facilities, and human capacity development.
Eneh noted that the NDDC’s current leadership is worthy of commendation and recognition, citing the commission’s prudent and disciplined approach to managing funds.
Under Ogbuku’s leadership, contractors are paid promptly, and contracts are awarded transparently with available funds.
He said this approach had minimised abandoned projects in the region.
Additionally, the NDDC has implemented initiatives to address youth restiveness and provide skill acquisition and vocational training opportunities.
He said that exceptional performers were offered jobs in oil facilities and companies within the region.
Eneh urged Niger Delta indigenes to support Ogbuku’s vision and provide a conducive environment for the protection of ongoing and existing projects.
He emphasised that “the NDDC is one of the best things that has happened to the region in recent times” and called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to support the commission with adequate funding, aligning with his renewed hope agenda.”
By supporting the NDDC, the region can unlock its full potential and achieve sustainable development.
