A pro-development Niger Delta group, the Niger Delta Network has called on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to make available relief materials for flood victims in the region.

In a communique issued at its enlarged meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers state last Sunday and signed by its Acting Secretary General and Director of Public Communications, Eric Igbinokpogie Esq and Dr. John Douglas respectively, the group said that as an interventionist agency and its supervising government agency, both the NDDC and MNDA respectively should ensure the setting up of proper camps for internally displaced persons.

The meeting which deliberated on the state of the region and effort on the part of government at ameliorating the sufferings of the people of the Niger Delta, also had the group urging critical stakeholders in the region to give maximum support and cooperation to the NDDC and its supervising ministry towards the speedy actualization of President Buhari’s vision for the region.

The communique hinted that findings done through its recent assessment tours to NDDC projects have revealed a number of projects that it said could be completed within the remaining days of the Buhari administration, adding that those projects, when completed, would positively impact the economy of the region and its citizens.

While praying God to grant him wisdom and enablement to have a smooth sail in the new responsibility and task ahead, the group also urge him to know it is time to positively change the story of the Niger Delta Region by working harmoniously with critical stakeholders in the region.
