Youths Condemn Attack On NDDC Boss

Youths of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area under the aegis of Onelga Youth Council (OYC) have condemned the barrage of attack on the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Mr. Chibuzor Ugwuoha.

The youth president, Comrade Anthony Harrison who said this in an interview with newsmen at Omoku described the criticism as sectional and selfish.

The OYC President, who also described the criticism as politically motivated, contended that the presidency and the NDDC management should not be blamed, if all the programmes towards the development of the Niger Delta region are derailed.

According to him, Mr. Ugwuoha is being crucified, because he has instilled discipline and probity in the management of the affairs of the commission, pointing out that this act may not have gone well with some individuals, who see the NDDC as their constituency.

Mr. Harrison also urged that the appointment of the NDDC boss is justified as he is from the local government which is the highest producer of oil and gas in the country.

He maintained that Mr. Ugwuoha even though is of  minority tribe in the region should be allowed to complete his tenure and further advised the NDDC boss to remain focus inspite of the distractions.
