Stakeholders in Nigeria’s oil-bearing region have resolved to revisit and review the Niger Delta Regional Development Master Plan, which expired in 2020, to provide sustainable focus for the region.
They also resolved that the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), should prioritise key sectors that would have huge impact on the standard of living of the people of the Niger Delta region, especially in infrastructure, education, health and agriculture.
The resolutions are contained in a communique issued at the end of the recent three-day Board/ Management Retreat held at the Ibom Icon Hotels and Golf Resort in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
In the communique issued by members of the NDDC Governing Board, and made available to journalists, the stakeholders equally resolved that the Commission should consider implementing legacy projects that have the potential to benefit the people of the region, reduce poverty and improve the conditions of living of the people.
