NDDC board hails Tinubu’s economic programmes

The governing board of the Niger Delta Development Commission says President Bola Tinubu has implemented viable economic programmes during his administration’s three years in office.
The chairman, Chiedu Ebie, according to a statement, stated this when members of the board visited the president at his private residence in Lagos recently.
The chairman reiterated the commission’s commitment to accelerating project delivery across the Niger Delta region.
NDDC’s managing director, Samuel Ogbuku, said that Mr Tinubu had demonstrated visionary leadership, commitment to national development, and support for the Niger Delta region.
Mr Ogbuku said that the visit provided the board an opportunity to brief the president on the commission’s activities, interventions and achievements. He stated that the commission remained committed to realising the objects of the Renewed Hope Agenda by promoting inclusive growth and sustainable development.
The managing director further said that measures were being taken to complete ongoing NDDC projects across the region.
“The NDDC is committed to improving infrastructure, enhancing livelihoods and driving sustainable transformation in the region. The board will continue to support policies and initiatives aimed at promoting prosperity and improved living standards in the Niger Delta region,” he said.
