OPINION BY ETIM ETIM: Agenda for new NDDC board | TheCable
and inaugurated into office. It came exactly four years after the last one, headed by Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba from Cross River state, was disbanded in January 2019. Between 2019 and now, there’s been some four interim management for the commission which served without a board, but were put in place by the president pending the composition of a board.
The constitution of the board is in line with section 2 of the NDDC Act 2000, and this is its seventh board since its founding 22 years ago. It has its job cut out. The people of the region expect so much from the commission, and it is my expectation that the new executives will live up to the high hopes of the president, minister, governors and indeed, the people of the region.
It is also notable that NDDC is refocusing on new development concepts that center on core infrastructure projects such as inter-state roads. For someone who travels extensively across the Niger Delta region, I have been quite worried by the extent of the decay of Trunk A roads. It is a paradox that an area which produces the nation’s huge income is straddled with decrepit motorways.
