Complete ongoing projects, Oborevwori tells NDDC
The Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, has called on the management of Niger Delta Development Commission to complete all ongoing and uncompleted projects in the state.
Oborevwori also urged the NDDC to embark on projects that will add value to the lives of the people of the region, just as he made case for a strategic and collaborative approach between the commission and Niger Delta states to address challenges confronting the people of the region.
The governor spoke at the Delta State Government House, Asaba, during a courtesy visit by members of the NDDC management team on Friday, according to a statement by the Director of Corporate Affairs of the commission, Seledi Thompson-Wakama.
Oborevwori pledged to collaborate and support the commission in its efforts to fast-track the development of the Niger Delta region.
“I assure you that we are ready to collaborate with all development agencies committed to the development of the Niger Delta region and we are going to support you to enable you to discharge your duties”, he stated.
Responding to the NDDC’s request for collaboration on the execution of the Omadino-Okeronkoko-Escravos Road, Oborevwari said such a partnership was a welcome development.
The Governor advised the commission to avoid duplication of projects, stating that it is very necessary to consult the states before embarking on projects in their respective territories.
Speaking earlier, the NDDC Managing Director, Samuel Ogbuku, said that the commission would increase its collaboration with development partners, including the state governments and other stakeholders to achieve its objectives.
Ogbuku assured the Governor that the commission would work in synergy with governors in the nine states covered by the NDDC.
He stressed the need to re-activate the NDDC Advisory Committee as provided by its Establishment Act, to advise and monitor the activities of the commission.

Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has raised an alarm alleging harassment and corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a statement, VeryDarkMan claimed that the EFCC invited him to their Lagos office after he exposed popular crossdresser, Bobrisky, for allegedly bribing EFCC officials with N15 million.
VeryDarkMan expressed distrust in the EFCC, stating that he won’t honor the invitation due to lack of faith in the commission’s integrity. He demanded that the EFCC investigate its officers who handled Bobrisky’s case before inviting him.
“Why should I come to your Lagos office when the EFCC headquarters is in Abuja?” VeryDarkMan questioned.
He further alleged that the EFCC’s motive is to silence him, as he doesn’t have a “godfather” or N15 million to secure VIP treatment.
