See what Youths Did to NDDC Investigative panel! Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has expressed regrets over the disruption of its investigative hearing meant to address allegations of corruption and suggest measures to fine-tune the service delivery processes of the Commission. The meeting, which was organized by the Commission, working with civil society organisations, traditional rulers and coverage by the media, at the Hotel Presidential, Port Harcourt, on Tuesday, was marred by unruly youths who were not supposed to be part of the fact-finding meeting. Addressing newsmen, Mr. Chijioke Amu-Nnadi, the NDDC Head of Corporate Affairs, wondered why anyone who had the interest of the Niger Delta would scuttle a meeting that was supposed to improve the processes of the interventionist agency. The NDDC image maker said: “When you are trying to do something with an honest intention, you will expect people to support your efforts. Unfortunately, the situation was disrupted by p
