The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has made a firm commitment to prioritize governance in its efforts to bring about transformative change in the Niger Delta region. This commitment was emphasized during a meeting between the NDDC and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) at the United States Embassy in Abuja.
During the meeting, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, the Chief Executive Officer of NDDC, emphasized the importance of rebuilding public trust and enhancing service delivery in the Niger Delta. The discussions centered around collaborative strategies that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
One key focus was on SDG 16, which aims to promote peace, justice, and the building of strong institutions. By aligning with this goal, the NDDC aims to foster a sense of stability and fairness within the region. Additionally, SDG 17, which promotes partnerships to achieve these goals, was also discussed, highlighting the NDDC’s commitment to forging collaborative relationships both locally and globally.
The NDDC’s new management is determined to bring about positive change by revitalizing the commission’s image and operations. This new approach reflects the NDDC’s dedication to aligning itself with global sustainable development objectives.
By undertaking these efforts, the NDDC aims to strengthen governance in the Niger Delta region, ultimately improving the lives of the people who call it home.
