The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission , Dr Samuel Ogbuku , has promised that the commission will now meet on a quarterly basis with stakeholders of the commission to enhance the formulation and sustenance of the Commission's overall strategies for the development of the region.
He pointed out that the NDDC has a duty to harness resources from different groups, saying: “We have gathered at this forum to hear from the youths; to interact with them and rub minds because we realise that we cannot be planning programmes for youths without involving them at the foundational level.
He announced that the NDDC was working with the Niger Delta Chamber of Commerce in the training of youths and young entrepreneurs in the Niger Delta region adding that the Commission would collaborate with the Chambe to support Small and Medium Enterprises in the region and ensure the sustainability of youth development programmes.
He also hinted that President Bola Tinubu has assured the Commission of funding it’s budget to ensure that projects were finished and delivered according to specifications. In his remarks, the NDDC Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Alabo Boma Iyaye, affirmed the importance of stakeholder engagements in driving the development process, stating that NDDC recognised the fact that youths were the backbone of any society.
He said that the second phase of the youth empowerment programme would focus on commercial agriculture, information and communication technology, as well as assisting youths in the creative industry.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
