Youths of Niger Delta and Agitators with Conscience, under the aegis of 21st CYNDAC, and Network for Grassroots Development, NGD, have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resend to the Senate the names of the Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, screened and approved since November 2019.    

Commenting on the new order in NDDC, 21st CYNDAC, in a statement by Izon Ebi, said: “President Buhari should match his words with action by resending the board already screened and confirmed by the National Assembly, made up of men of impeccable character, which he failed to inaugurate for three years with no justifiable reason.

Co-Administrator of NGD, Ukato Thomas, said in Benin City, Edo State: “We urge Mr. President and the National Assembly to recall the already appointed, screened and confirmed governing board members of the commission.“Since its establishment in 2000, Akwa Ibom has produced two substantive managing directors; Delta has produced two; Rivers State has also got two except Bayelsa, which is the only state that has got only one MD among the four states.”
