Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has solicited close partnership with the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to ensure the rapid development of the region.
Udom said without such partnership, projects executed by the commission might not address the peculiar needs of the people.
The governor made this known recently during a visit to him by the minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Umana Okon Umana in Uyo, the state capital.
He noted that, once there was synergy, the purpose of bringing development to the people would be achieved.
Commending the minister for his commitment towards state building over the years, the governor said Umana Umana has made invaluable contributions in the state.
He called on the ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and the NDDC to give Umana the needed support and cooperation to succeed.
Earlier, the minister of NDDC Affairs, Mr Umana Umana who was accompanied by minister of state, Niger Delta Affairs, Sharon Ikeazor, administrator of the NDDC Effiong Akwa, and other officials of the commission, thanked Governor Emmanuel for accepting to host the National Council of Niger Delta organized by the ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and NDDC.
Umanah explained that the ministry’s approach in the development of the Niger Delta region seeks partnership with governors of the region to guide the development process and work in harmony to achieve the desired results for the people.
