The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has restated the Federal Government’s commitment towards making education and health care easily accessible to rural communities in the Niger Delta region.
Akpabio, who stated this yesterday while commissioning and handing over projects executed by the ministry in Isiala Mbano and Ikeduru local council areas of Imo State, added that the ministry would also empower the youth for a better future.
Akpabio noted that the projects, which were undertaken in pursuit of the ministry’s mandate, started in 2017 under the “Quick Win Intervention Projects” and were initiated with the aim of improving the quality of life of the people in the region. “The projects being commissioned today are some of the gains and achievements recorded by the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari under the Change Agenda of the Federal Government,” he said.
