Stakeholders, NDDC Agree On Master Plan For Niger Delta

The Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has adopted a new stakeholder-generated Regional Development Master Plan to replace the 15-year plan which expired in 2020.

The decision was one of the resolutions in a communique issued at the end of the NDDC 2025 board and management strategic retreat in Ikeja, Lagos.

The document was signed by the chairman of the commission’s Governing Board, Mr Chiedu Ebie and the managing director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku.

The retreat brought together members of the Governing Board and the management committee to assess the progress of the commission thus far, identify challenges and chart a new course for repositioning the commission for enhanced efficiency and impact in the Niger Delta region, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The communique stated that the NDDC board and management agreed on proper integration between the Commission and Member States in the region to ensure that projects are conceptualized and aligned with the needs of the region’s people.
