Delta State Governor and Chairman of South-South Governors’ Forum, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, yesterday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to reconstitute the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) without further delay.
Speaking when he led his Akwa-Ibom counterpart, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, to inaugurate roads, bridge and school projects built by his administration in Agbarho and Oleh, Okowa said it was a great injustice for the federal government to continue to run the NDDC without a constituted board.
He stated that Niger Delta states were being taken for a ride with the running of the commission without conforming to the laws establishing it.
