• Ondo gets most of projects in 2016, says acting MD

Former Governor Clement Ebri and the Cross River chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) have lauded the nomination of erstwhile Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, as board chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), saying “it is a clear example of fixing a square peg in a square hole by President Muhammadu Buhari”.

In a chat with reporters in Calabar yesterday, Ebri charged the people to support the entire board members for maximum result.

The APC, on its part, noted that the incoming team has what it takes to deliver the goods

The party in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mens Ikpeme, said the recent appointments of “Senator Ndoma-Egba and Chief Sylvester Nsa into the board of NDDC, the Minister of Niger Delta, Usani Uguru Usan, Head of Service, Angela Oyo Ita; Chief of Naval Staff, Ibok Ete Ibas and Special Adviser (Prosecution to the President), Chief Okoi Obono-Obla are highly commendable.”

Also yesterday, the Acting Managing Director of the commission, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, said Ondo State was given priority in terms of projects this year to address the marginalisation outcry from stakeholders.

Speaking in Akure while declaring open a two-day training for management staff on procurement and due process mechanism, Semenitari further revealed that states with lower production capacities were benefitting more this fiscal year.

“In our budget proposal this year, those who produce more are actually getting a bit less than their production quota, and those who don’t produce as much, are getting more than their production quota,” she stated.
