The Senator President, who was speaking at the ceremony to officially handover projects to the benefitting communities in Ikom, praised the Senate Leader, Senator Victor Ndoma Egba for collaborating with the NDDC in bringing development to his people.

In his remark, the Managing Director of NDDC, Barr. Bassey Dan-Abia, said that the provision of key infrastructure was part of the mandate of the commission to fast-track development of Nigeria’s oil-rich region, adding that it was in consonance with the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to the Managing Director “the hospital consists of 200 general ward bed space and 20 VIP private rooms, and promised that the NDDC would go beyond just erecting the hospital building.
