NDDC Makes Move to End Regional Crisis


The  Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has began moves to curb regional crisis affecting the people. Speaking in a stakeholders meeting at the Hotel Presidential in Rivers State recently, the acting managing Director, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, stated that the 2016 Partner for Sustainable Development is a direct product of the Niger Delta Regional Development Master Plan, for collaborating with stakeholders in the Niger Delta region.

She averred  that the aim is to create opportunity for partners to look at various challenges plaguing the Niger Delta Region and proffer the way forward. She said the commission in collaboration with the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs would discuss  strategies that will make the region move forward. According to her, “The key objective of the Partners for Sustainable development PSD is to provide a clearing-house of information for stakeholders during project planning, budgeting and implementation strategies, to ensure that stakeholders are aware of what others are doing and planning to do…. It also affords stakeholders the opportunity to devolve development functions and avoid duplication of efforts and waste of scarce resources” she said. 

Highlights of the meeting were presentations on livelihoods, driving investments in the Region and underscoring the role of the civil society in Development. Stake holders in attendance were Eze Ikegwuruka, paramount ruler of Ngbirichi in Imo State, Mrs, Belema Wakama Permanent Secretary to the ministry of Niger Delta and others.
On his part Ikegwuruka charged the Federal Government, Oil Companies and other contributors to  religiously make their statutory contributions to the funding of the Commission, noting that the royal fathers, as the principal security officers and custodians of their various kingdoms would do all that was necessary to ensure that sanity returns to the region.
