So, an inspection tour of projects executed by the NDDC in Oporoza and Ugborodo communities through the meandering creeks of the delta is not an assignment for the faint hearted.

While welcoming the NDDC team, an elated spokesman of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Chief Godspower Gbebekama, urged members of the team to feel at home in the island.

The kingdom is the homestead of the former leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo.
