Managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Samuel Ogbuku, has urged the management and staff of the commission to pray that the development and prosperity of the Niger Delta region continues to flow from the interventionist agency.
Ogbuku made the appeal during an annual thanksgiving service organised by the NDDC Christian Fellowship at the commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt.
He enjoined the staff to imbibe the culture of thanksgiving to attract more blessings from God, noting that the Almighty God had been faithful and merciful to the NDDC and thus deserves to be praised to pave way for a more prosperous new year.
“We must give glory to God for making us who we are. I am elated that we have sustained the annual thanksgiving service because we have many things that we need to be thankful to God for,” he stated.
Ogbuku appreciated both staff and management for taking out time to pray together for the progress of the commission stating that, “We are planting God in NDDC premises. In furtherance to this, our Directorate for Utility, Infrastructural Development and Waterways will design a place of worship to be incorporated into our headquarters complex.”
He said that over the years, people had wrong impressions about the NDDC in spite of its efforts to drive the process of development of Nigeria’s oil-rich region.
The NDDC managing director assured that the current board of the commission was determined to reverse the wrong perception.
In his exhortation, a pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCCG), Remi Odebode, enjoined the NDDC staff to be thankful to God in every situation and commended the members of commission’s Christian fellowship for their steadfastness in praising God.
