\n
The Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Engr. Emmanuel Audu-Ohwavborua has pledged to change the story of the Niger Delta region.<\/div>\n
\n
Addressing management and staff at the Commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt shortly after he assumed office, Audu-Ohwavborua said: \u201cTime has come to change the story of the of the Niger Delta region. We must all be part of that new story.\u201dSpeaking further, he noted that the challenges facing the staff of the Commission were enormous and assured the NDDC staff of his support in ensuring that they carry out their duties effectively.<\/p>\n

He remarked: \u201cAs someone who understands your challenges, you can be rest assured that we will begin to get things right. The staff must be equipped to perform the tasks they are assigned to. I will support you and I expect your support in return.”<\/p>\n

“The staff of NDDC must be properly equipped to do their jobs. We have come a long way as staff of this Commission and God has a plan for allowing everything that happens to us, even as indigenes of Niger Delta region. Our labour shall not be in vain,”<\/p>\n

He said further: \u201cStanding on the path of righteousness is what I will bring to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith so many professionals, including engineers and PhD holders in various fields, it is obvious that there is sufficient capacity in the workforce. What is required is the will to do things right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Audu-Ohwavborua stated, “I will listen to you, you have a duty to offer advice. I’m not here to witch-hunt anyone. We will be open.”<\/p>\n

He urged Directors and management staff to always share information with staff under them, noting that it was a sure way of avoiding rumour mongering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
