The Chairman of the Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Mrs Lauretta Onochie, has clamoured for human development in the Niger Delta.
She stated this while receiving the leadership of the Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture in her office in Port Harcourt recently.
She said, “Developing the people of the Niger Delta region can only be done by professionals like you, who manage your own enterprises. Development does not only mean building and providing physical infrastructure. Development also lies in the development of our human capital. We will be relying on you for support.”
In his remarks, the PHCCIMA President, Eze Mike Elechi, noted that the chamber wanted to collaborate with the NDDC in the development of micro, small and medium businesses in Rivers State and the Niger Delta region. He stated, “We need to partner with the NDDC to train individuals in micro, small and medium enterprises. We also seek your financial support for the 2023 Port Harcourt International Trade Fair.”
Speaking also to a delegation from the National Youth Council of Nigeria South-South Zone during another courtesy visit, Onochie encouraged youths in the Niger Delta region to acquire relevant skills that would empower them to overcome economic challenges.
