NIGER DELTA: Ogbuku led NDDC, Beacon of Hope For Regional Peace And Devt. –Ex-IYC Spokesman, Ebilade
Former National Spokesman of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) worldwide, Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe has handed a pass mark on the performance of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) led by Dr. Samuel Ogbuku.
According to Ekerefe, the NDDC under the Managing Director, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku has saved the blushes of those who strongly advocate and agitate for the appointment of a substantive board of the commission by placing the commission on the right trajectory of accelerating regional development, consolidating peace and bringing prosperity to the doorsteps of our people.
Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe, who is also the founder and leader of the Niger Delta Advocacy Group-New Era Movement, in a statement on Monday titled “DR. SAMUEL OGBUKU’S NDDC: A BEACON OF HOPE FOR THE NIGER DELTA” stated that “As a key stakeholder in the Niger delta project that has contributed to the advocacy and intellectual agitations that culminated into the appointment of a substantive board of the NDDC during my time as the Spokesman of the Ijaw Youth Council, it gladdens my heart to report back to our people that the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, MD/CEO has demonstrated unwavering commitment to transforming the Niger Delta into a region of growth, prosperity and peace.”
“A Viable leadership is determined by the vision, drive and dedication to the mandate.
Samuel Ogbuku’s emergence as Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission has redefined the Commission’s mandate and resonate the original ideology as an interventionist agency.”
“Communities in the region have metamorphosed into huge construction sites lately, which is a clear departure from the past when the Niger Delta was plagued by abandoned projects. Under Dr. Ogbuku’s leadership, the Niger Delta, is experiencing the completion and commissioning of numerous projects while the future holds even more promising.”
“His pioneering project shortly after his appointment as the NDDC helmsman, “operation light up the Niger Delta” where solar powered street lights illuminates every nook and cranny of the region clearly demonstrates his commitment to a rekindled hope for a better Niger Delta.”
“This remarkable initiative has helped reduce criminality and enhanced commercial activities in the region and creating a safer and more vibrant environment for all. Furthermore, the timely approval of the NDDC’s 2024 budget of N1.9 trillion is poised to accelerate socio-economic development across the region.”
“Recall that as Ogbuku presented this budget to the House of Representatives Committee on the NDDC, he emphasized the board determination to lay a solid foundation for sustainable economic growth and a greener future.”
“Aptly titled the “Budget of Renewed Hope,” the document reflects the Commission’s renewed focus on real development, free from political interference which had bedeviled its activities over the years.
