Rivers State Deputy Governor, Dr. Ipalibo Banigo has said the political class derailed the noble objectives for the establishment of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
Banigo said this while declaring open the Technical Session of the 4th National Council on Niger Delta in Port Harcourt, noting that NDDC would have performed better in the region if some self-centred politicians were not playing politics with it.
She added that one of the main reasons for the establishment of the NDDC was to build infrastructure and human capital development in the Niger Delta region, but regretted that the commission had been degraded to a mere ATM centre for political sponsorship and patronage of the ruling party.
