The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has distributed relief materials to the Otuasega and Oruma communities in Bayelsa State, reinforcing its dedication to supporting Niger Delta residents.
Speaking at the distribution event, Mrs. Chioma Nwakwe, NDDC Deputy Director of Education, Health, and Social Services, represented Managing Director Dr. Samuel Ogbuku and linked the initiative to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“We are dedicated to supporting our people through targeted interventions,” Nwakwe said, citing the recent launch of the NDDC’s 2025 Free Medical Mission.
The distribution follows First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s recent commissioning of a refurbished hospital and school in Otuasega, where the NDDC supplied desks, chairs, and U-Lesson tablets.
“With the First Lady’s support, we’re delivering vital aid to these communities,” Nwakwe noted.
The founder of Ednest Egerue Foundation, Mrs.Susan Ibiama, lauded the partnership, stating, “This initiative is critical for communities facing significant economic challenges.”
Receiving the materials on behalf of OTuasega Community, Mr. Innocent Abbey, Vice Chairman of Otuasega’s Community Development Committee, thanked the NDDC for its contributions, including a modern school, hospital, and youth corps lodge.
“These supplies will greatly ease the burdens on our community,” he asserted.
The Secretary of Ngbiama-Oruma Community, Mr.Akaribo Lamanya, praised the NDDC’s leadership and committed to equitable distribution of the aid.
“This support is a lifeline for our people during these challenging times,” he declared.
The NDDC’s actions highlight its ongoing mission to provide relief and foster sustainable development throughout the Niger Delta.
