President Tinubu Urges Niger Delta Stakeholders to Support NDDC
President Bola Tinubu has charged leaders from the South-South zone and Niger Delta Stakeholders to support the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, in its quest to fast track the development of Nigeria’s oil-rich region.
The President gave the charge when he met with the leaders of Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, at the Council Chambers in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He commended the political leaders in the Niger Delta and urged them to do more to encourage the agencies driving the development process in the region.
Tinubu stated: “Community development is very close to my heart. The NDDC Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, is doing a great job and should be encouraged to do more.
“He is your son. We are all proud of him. Yes, there are lots of misadventures around Nigeria on democracy. We will continue to work on preserving the integrity and character of our legislators.”
The President advised the leaders to be more broadminded, selfless, and focused on the larger vision of salvaging the region, both politically and economically.
