Managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Samuel Ogbuku, has charged leaders of Niger Delta ex-agitators and stakeholders to ensure that the reigning peace in the region is sustained to attract investors.

Ogbuku made the appeal during a courtesy visit by the leaders and members of the Phases 1, 2 and 3 ex-agitators of the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme at the NDDC headquarters in Port Harcourt.

The NDDC boss commended the ex-agitators for playing their role as critical stakeholders to enthrone peace.

“Peace in the Niger Delta region is critical to attracting continuous investments in the region and such investments will create employment opportunities for the people of the region.

“We want the world to know that Niger Delta people have gone beyond street agitation; we are now involved in intellectual engagements. The time for agitation is over; this is the time for development.

“We sacrificed a lot during the struggle for the emancipation of the Niger Delta region. This is the time to turn that struggle into development.

“Our youths complain about lack of employment but this cannot come from government alone. Investors must see our region as peaceful and politically stable before they can bring employment-generating projects. It is therefore our responsibility to ensure that Niger Delta remains peaceful and stable for employment creation.

“The Niger Delta is one of the most peaceful regions in the country and we are expecting businesses to return to the region. Let us mind how we use the media because if used negatively, it will be to our detriment as we drive away local and foreign investors,” he said.

Ogbuku lamented that many investment opportunities that should have come to the Niger Delta have been moved to other regions because those places were perceived to be more conducive for business.

He stated that the administration of President Bola Tinubu was aware of the challenges facing the people of the Niger Delta and was prepared to bring positive changes. 

“The president is concerned about the underdevelopment of the region but he needs our cooperation to ensure there is peace and prosperity,” the NDDC boss stated.

gbuku emphasized that the commission was focused on ensuring the sustainability of its public-private partnership scheme to ensure a win-win for everyone. 

He further stated that the commission’s project christened ‘HOPE’ (Holistic Opportunities Programmes for Engagement), would drive the NDDC’s engagements with youths in the region.

Earlier, the leaders of the ex-agitators who took turns to speak, expressed “unequivocal support” for the leadership of Ogbuku and condemned some individuals campaigning for a change in the current leadership of the commission. 

The delegation of ex-agitators was led by HRH Henry Binidodogha Ekes for Phase 1 ex-agitators; Gen Olotu Wanemi for Phase 2 ex-agitators and Hon Tonye Bobo for Phase 3 ex-agitators.

Henry Binidodogha stated that Ogbuku was fit for the position of the chief executive officer of the NDDC being a foremost Niger Delta activist in the quest for development.
