NDDC GOES PROACTIVE!!! AS THEY URGE
GOVERNORS NOT TO POLITICIZE PROJECTS…SEE
Christian Rowland writing for ODOGWU MEDIA...Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba has appealed to states under the commission to shun partisan politics.
Ndoma-Egba made this appeal when he led the NDDC board and Management team on a courtesy visit to Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State on Thursday in Calabar.
“NDDC has been visiting governors in the region to build confidence because in the past, the reputation of the commission was not edifying and we are determined to change all of that.
“We have reviewed our projects in a way that will not make us compete with the states. We are appealing to governors in the region to shun politics and partner with the commission so that we can develop the region,” the former Senate Leader said.
He told governor Ayade that about 168 projects embarked upon by the commission in the state have so far been completed, 75 abandoned and 150 projects were ongoing in the state, while 7 projects have been taken over by other agencies of government and 2 terminated.
Welcoming the NDDC board and management, the state governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, while acknowledging the critical role the commission in the development of the region, appealed for partnership on the super highway and the deep sea port.
According to the governor, the state was facing challenges because of low allocation, pleading that the commission could identify with the infrastructural plan of the state and key into the one that will impact on the people of the state.
“NDDC can be a rallying point for development in the region and there is need to revive the commission in order to make meaningful contributions to the states.
