The Chairman, Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Lauretta Onochie, has decried the level of underdevelopment in the Niger Delta area despite the humongous funds allocated to the interventionist agency over the years.
Continuing, she said, “We are going to improve the working environment because if you are not happy at the place you work, then those of us at the head will not have your 100 per cent. You have 100 per cent to give, but we demand 110 per cent.
“The time has come to say stop. Let us serve Niger Delta. I believe that there are some of here who are where they shouldn’t be. There are some who are not where they should be. All the injustice we have seen in this Niger Delta, we will correct them.” “We are not here like one party handing over from one party. We are not here to fight anybody. We are all people from Niger Delta. I want all of you to be rest assured that, based on your competence, you are going to be working with this administration.”
