Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) are exploring areas of mutual cooperation in the provision of affordable housing for the Niger Delta region.
This was the outcome of the meeting between the Managing Director of the NDDC, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku and the Housing Minister, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa.
The NDDC boss in a courtesy visit to the Minister of Housing and Urban Development discussed areas of common interest between the two government agencies.
Some of the key aspects of the NDDC mandates include: infrastructure development; human capital development, environmental management, master planning and social welfare for the citizens of the region.
In his remarks, Minister Dangiwa highlighted the importance of the NDDC as a critical intervention institution in Nigeria, serving communities for nearly 25 years and contributing to the country’s economic lifeblood.
“Your ongoing reforms to complete abandoned projects, improve transparency, and strengthen governance are truly commendable, they embody the results-oriented, accountable, and people-focused service that this administration expects from every federal agency,” he added.
