NDDC Seeks Collaboration With Presidential Amnesty Programme

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is seeking to collaborate with the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

Brig-Gen. Paul Boroh, the Managing Director of the Commission, Barrister Bassey Dan-Abia, said it is important for there to be peace in order to develop infrastructures in the region.

Barr. Dan-Abia added that the Commission would also work with the Niger Delta Ministry to ensure that there is no duplication of duties among the M.D.As.

The NDDC boss said the youths could not be relegated in the socio-economic and political development of any country.

He assured that the commission would continue to initiate programmes that would prepare youths for future challenges.

“We have programmes designed for the youths running into millions of Naira, but we need to fine-tune them for better results.

“We are, therefore, focusing on areas that will give us maximum benefit and impact positively on our youths.

“The basic issues about the Niger Delta region is employment and this can only be realised in an environment that is conducive for investment.

“Our areas of collaboration with PAP will be for sustainable peace and development in the region”, he said.
