Mr. Nsima Ekere, The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), has assured the Governing Council of Delta State
Polytechnic, Ozoro of the Commission’s determination to assist the
school with the provision of basic infrastructure such as roads and
hostel accommodation.
He said the Commission will also embark on new ones, such as the
construction of hostel accommodation and other infrastructure to enable
students learn under a conducive atmosphere.
Speaking on behalf of the Managing Director, at the NDDC headquarters in
Port Harcourt, the Executive Director Projects, Samuel Adjogbe, told
the visiting members of the Governing Council, led by the Chairman,
Funkekeme Solomon and the Rector, Prof. Job Akpodiete, that the
Commission was making efforts to complete all on-gong projects.
According to Adjogbe, NDDC was determined to do things differently by taking very hard decisions.
The Chairman of the Ozoro Polytechnic Governing Council called on
NDDC to prevail on the contractors handling the three major projects in
the school, such as the 2-storey ICT Building, twin lecture theatre and
one-kilometre road, to complete them.
In another development, representatives of major oil bearing
communities in Agbarha-Otor in Ughelli North Local Government Area, led
by Comrade Ikpere Clement who were in the Commission to protest the
deplorable condition of a road project abandoned in their communities,
were received by the EDP on behalf of the NDDC MD/CEO.
He hailed them for not taking the laws into their hands.
He added: “We will no longer allow people to hide NDDC money in their
pockets without delivering on projects. We are doing this to reposition
the Commission.”
