The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has guaranteed the region that the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission will be constituted at the appropriate time, upon the recommendation of President, Muhammadu Buhari.
Senator Akpabio, made this known in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Dr Babayo Ardo, maintained that President Buhari was determined to reposition the NDDC after 19 years of rot.
He however, noted that he never advised protesting youths and women of the region on the Constitution of the Board of the NDDC to channel their grievances to President Buhari, as reported by some online media platforms.
The Niger Delta Affairs Minister further said it is not in the interest of the region to stampede the Government into aborting the reform process, noting that Buhari has demonstrated immense love for the Niger Delta and its people.
