NDBDA Targets Manpower Dev, Greater Efficiency
The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Basic Development Authority (NDBDA), Chief Mattew Aleru, has said that the company has spelt out modalities targeted at encouraging manpower development and improving general work conditions within the authority.
He said this in a chat with newsmen in Port Harcourt, recently.
Aleru also decried the poor supervision of some projects carried out by its contractors, stressing that the authority is only interested in quality job creation.
He said the modality will address the issue of lateness, and poor attitude to work and other issues that may take the agency to the next level.
According to him, all efforts must be geared towards changing the place for better in agreement with Mr President’s directive, saying that the public must justify their performance with the available resources provided for them.
The NDBDA boss, who spoke recently on his return trip from Abuja where he participated in a talk on “Initiative funding of water projects in Nigeria”, said partnership and cooperation with the public will also bring about growth in the company.
He cited its agricultural and water projects as good examples of partnership projects especially with host communities, while saying that all its projects sites out to be monitored by concerned authorities as well as host communities.
He explained that all commissioned projects need regular maintenance, which is no longer the sole duty of the authority.
The Tide gathered that the new wave of change in the authority may send some unserious staff home, and also result in termination of agreements with non-performing contractors.
