NDDC,s MD Reiterates Resolve Towards Development of the region

BY AHERHOKE OKIOMA, Yenagoa.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Dr. Samuel Ogbuku has assured the people of Niger Delta Region that the Board is committed to the development of the region.

Ogbuku said, the board currently has the best brain clearly picked by president Bola Ahmed Tinubu where they have former House of Representatives members, former senators and former leader of the senate. Saying the chairman is a former secretary to Delta State government and a former commissioner who is well experienced, describing them as the best team NDDC ever have.

The MD/CEO handed down this during a reception ceremony organised in his honour at his maternal home Yiba-Ama (Oruma) Tugbeni Land in Ogbia local government area of bayelsa state.

Ogbuku said the honour done him is an expectation for more development. "It's for more responsibility. My conduct positively or negatively will also tell on this Community. So it's a very big responsibility and honour".

"I have decided that my team should come and join me because without their support their is no way I can be able to meet up the expectation of my people. We have collectively agreed that we are going to give back to this Community and Ogbia local government development. We have also collectively agreed that we are going to transform the Niger Delta Region. That is why I thought it necessary that we all make this acceptance speech together".

"Am assuring you that with this team, we are committed in transforming Niger Delta. Though they say charity begin at home, so we will start from home first. Am very committed to the development of these Community. The honour you did for me before is much more than today"

"Let me tell you publicly, when I was politically incarcerated and arrested in 2014 and locked up in Okaka prison for eight months, why I was there because of state government influence, some person's even find it difficult to come and see me, some Communities were even avoiding me, but this same my mother Community conferred on me the first chieftaincy title. This is an act that nor matter what happened they stood by me".

"I want you to understand that this is a reception in honour of myself and it was not political rally, but if the colouration from the presentation of my chairman and the atmosphere paint Politics, you will not blame him and you will not blame me too because all of us the governing board of NDDC are members of APC. So, if an APC person goes to a place, you will also sure that APC members will join them to welcome him, that is why you see the image that way.

Since my chairman did a lot of politicking, he was inspired to do that anyway and whatever my chairman says, I want you to understand that I stand by my chairman".

In his address, the chairman of the occasion, Mr. Chiedu Ebie who is also the chairman of NDDC board, described Dr. Samuel Ogbuku as a visionary and dedicated individual whose contribution to the development of Niger Delta Region is commendable.

He said the gathering of people from far and near is a testimony to the immense respect and admiration they have on chief Ogbuku.

"We are privilege to have him as MD/CEO, a position that reflects his commitment and fostering growth, prosperity and unity of the Niger Delta Region. As a United team in NDDC, Mr. Ogbuku will work tirelessly to bring about meaningful development and progress not only to Niger Delta but also to Tugbeni Land. The land of my MD's mother has a special place in the heart of my MD".

"With your continue support by bringing a new government to bayelsa state, more roads, more development will come to Ogbia land".

He described sylva as a man that will take Bayelsa to the center. "A man that will bring overall development to the state. I know Ogbia Will give hundred percent votes to chief Timipre sylva the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the November 11 governorship election in the state".

In the Community address, read by the chairman of the planning committee, High Chief Lawson Iberebo un behalf of the chief host, HRH. Peter W.D Amakiri, said the reception and the chieftaincy title of their illustrious son was as a result of his contribution towards the development of Niger Delta within this short period.

According to them, though the journey may be rough and challenging, saying but with courage and determination hopefully will get to a safe landing.

"Yiba-Ama, his maternal home sometime honoured him with a chieftaincy title, Ama Tondi (1) of Tugbeni Land, meaning the one that lightens the Community. Surprisingly just after his appointment as the MD of NDDC, solar light is now shining in almost in every Community. This is a man with an open heart who love the region"
