The chairman-designate of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Chiedu Ebie, has been charged by the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ika Federal Constituency in Delta State to work towards taking the agency on a new trajectory.

The Ika Federal Constituency comprises Ika North East and Ika South Local Government Areas in Delta State.

Speaking during a meeting at the residence of the chairman of Ika South, Fada Ibude, the party’s members thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for nominating Ebie, a former commissioner and Secretary to the Delta State Government, as the NDDC chairman.

They noted that with President Tinubu commitment to bringing Nigeria back to the path of sustainable development and bringing genuine change in the fortune of the people of Niger Delta, Ebie should galvanise his team to ensure that NDDC assiduously impacts positively on the people.

Responding, Ebie, a lawyer, assured that he and his team will “put in our best in the discharge of our duties to ensure the development of the region.”

The members of the NDDC board are expected to be screened by the Senate as soon as the lawmakers reconvene.
