The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, said he has briefed President Bola Tinubu on the progress made by the Commission in completing legacy projects across the Niger Delta region.
Speaking in an interview after meeting with the President at the State House in Abuja, Ogbuku reaffirmed the NDDC’s commitment to translating the Renewed Hope Agenda of Tinubu’s administration into tangible and measurable outcomes.
This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Wednesday by the NDDC director of corporate affairs, Seledi Thompson-Wakama, and made available to newsmen.
The NDDC boss attributed the success of the interventionist agency to “the tremendous support of the Presidency,” noting that “President Tinubu has charged us to complete all legacy projects for the benefit of the people of the Niger Delta region.”
According to Ogbuku, the meeting with President Tinubu afforded him the opportunity to highlight the NDDC’s progress in delivering its mandate, particularly in executing strategic projects across the Niger Delta region.
He said that some of the completed projects included the 650-bed Niger Delta University hostel complex in Amassoma, Bayelsa State and the electrification project in Oron, Akwa Ibom State.
Dr Ogbuku said he extended a formal invitation to Mr President to commission these completed projects as a testament to the Federal Government’s commitment to sustainable development in the region.
