The Chairman noted that the Board and Management Retreat was very successful, considering the quality of information and knowledge shared during the technical sessions at the learning programme.
According to her: “We have learnt quite a lot at the retreat. It has been a very fulfilling time for members of the Board and Management. Since our inauguration, have said consistently that we will do things differently.
“The retreat has equipped us to chart a new course to enable us bring positive changes in the Niger Delta region. This is important and we need everyone to be on board for us to achieve the goal of taking Nigeria’s oil rich region to greater heights.”
Onochie, promised that the Commission would carry out training and skills acquisition programmes for the youths and execute projects across the Niger Delta region, irrespective of political or ethnic inclinations.
She stated: “Very soon, the NDDC will commence high impact, people-driven programmes for all citizens of Niger Delta, regardless of political and or ethnic differences.”
