The Ministry of Regional Development has applauded the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), for its inclusive budgeting process, which actively engages stakeholders in the development of the Niger Delta region.

Permanent secretary of the ministry, Dr Mary Ogbe, gave the commendation while delivering the keynote address at the NDDC 2025 Budget Conference and Partners for Sustainable Development (PSD) Forum in Port Harcourt.

Ogbe, who praised the commission for aligning its budgeting process with the provisions of extant laws, commended the NDDC for convening key stakeholders to collaborate on the 2025 budget.
She said, “This conference reflects a collective commitment to the sustainable development of the Niger Delta. It presents an atmosphere conducive to achieving an effective budgeting system for the NDDC, in line with the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ of the government of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

“As members of the Regional Development Commission, we do not merely oversee budgets; we shape destinies. If you are not seeing yourself as such before now, I plead with you to begin to see yourself as a custodian of your regional growth, guardian of its resources and promoter of its future.

“How we spend reflects what we believe in. Budgets are more than financial instruments; they reveal, in clear terms, the values we prioritise and the future we aspire to build. A mirror of our values and a map for the future.”

Ogbe emphasised the need for innovative, transparent, and participatory budgeting practices to ensure that available resources are maximally deployed to meet the region’s most pressing needs.

In his remarks, the chairman of the NDDC Governing Board, Mr. Chiedu Ebie, said that the Commission had started implementing a new governance structure prepared by KPMG, a reputable global business consultancy, to ensure accountability and effective performance.

Ebie stated that a new institutional culture was anchored on sound ethics and good corporate governance, noting that the NDDC was determined to strengthen its corporate governance system and improve its internal processes.

In his address, NDDC managing director Dr Samuel Ogbuku highlighted the Commission’s renewed focus on partnerships and the region’s needs.

Ogbuku said, “The budget is for the people of the Niger Delta. A needs assessment is periodically conducted to ensure that projects meet the people’s needs. For example, Operation Light Up the Niger Delta was born out of a need for improved illumination in the communities of the Niger Delta.”

“We are building strong collaborations in both the private and public sectors to deliver meaningful and lasting infrastructure,” he said, citing ongoing work with the Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas, NLNG, on the Kaa-Ataba road and bridge. The project, he revealed, is the longest bridge in Rivers State and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

On his part, the chairman of the Senate Committee on NDDC, Senator Asuquo Ekpeyong, noted the Senate’s commitment to ensuring that the 2025 Budget reflects the needs and aspirations of the people of the region.

Ekpenyong said: “I applaud the NDDC leadership for convening this crucial budget conference with all of the key players in our region. It takes dedicated work and collaboration to address the region’s problems.

“The leadership of the National Assembly is committed to making sure that the 2025 Budget represents the needs of our people, particularly now that we have a stable, goal-oriented NDDC.”
