The Niger Delta Students Union government helmsman said they believe that the award would spur Engr. David-West to do more for the region, saying that the award will also challenge others in leadership positions from the region to have a positive mindset to work for the development of the region.
“This meeting today was to appreciate Engr. David-West for the good works he is doing and immense contributions to the development of the Niger Delta region, particularly, the cassava plantation, fish and poultry farm and the ongoing construction of staff quarters at Kpor in Ogoni land, also the building of Area Office Complex for the NDBDA at Yenagoa, Bayelsa State,” he stated
Receiving the award, Engr Tonye David-West attributed his successes largely to the contributions from both management and staff of the NDBDA and the Minister of Federal Ministry of Water Resources, Engr.
