Buhari Orders Reconstitution of NDDC Board

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the reconstitution of the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

The reconstitution of the board is in line with the provisions of the NDDC Act, which requires the President to appoint a new board every four years.

The decision was announced by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on Tuesday.

According to Akpabio, the reconstitution of the board is aimed at ensuring the effective implementation of the commission's mandate and the development of the Niger Delta region.

The NDDC is a federal government agency responsible for the development of the Niger Delta region, which has been plagued by environmental degradation, poverty, and insecurity.

The commission has been embroiled in controversy in recent times, with allegations of mismanagement of funds and corruption leveled against its officials.

The reconstitution of the board is expected to bring in new ideas and perspectives to address the challenges facing the region.

The new board is expected to be inaugurated soon, with the President appointing new members to replace the outgoing ones.

The reconstitution of the NDDC board is seen as a major step towards addressing the development challenges facing the Niger Delta region and ensuring the effective implementation of the commission's mandate.
