Group Canvasses Support For New NDDC Management

A socio political group in the Niger Delta, Patriotic Forum of Niger Delta (PAFOND) has called on citizens of the region to give maximum support and cooperation to the new administration of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)
The forum said this at the end of its national executive committee meeting held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
In a press release jointly signed by the National Chairman of the forum, Owo Udoh and National Secretary, Richard Monday, the forum also called on the sole administrator of the commission, Mr Effiong Akwa to ensure that the commission is repositioned with the view to achieving the purpose for which it was setup.
While pledging its support for the sole administrator, it urged all Niger Deltans and other stakeholders to drop personal interest and give the sole administrator maximum support to enable him reposition the commission for the development of the region.
According to the statement, the Niger Delta region has remained backward despite the trillions of naira pumped into it in the past.
The organisation also advised people in the region to always toe the path of dialogue when there are issues than going for protest which can cause disunity among the diverse ethnic groups in the region.
It further vows not to support any group or persons that want to frustrate federal government development plans for the region.
