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.
