The Niger Delta Youth Movement (NDYM) has called on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to uphold its mandate of serving the interests of all ethnic groups in the region.
The NDYM emphasized that fairness and transparency in the distribution of the NDDC’s resources and opportunities across all states and ethnic groups are essential for sustaining peace.
This appeal was contained in a communiqué issued over the weekend, signed by the group’s National President, Major Frank Ekene, and Secretary, Comrade Ediagbonya Joshua Osamuyi.
“While not accusing the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Samuel Ogbuku of anything yet, we urge him to be transparent in the operations of the Commission.
“The sustenance of peace is not to use the collective portfolio of the people entrusted to you by Mr President to suppress and oppress the same people.
