The Minister of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Abubakar Momoh, at the weekend, flagged off a free medical outreach by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in Edo, as over 3,200 patients benefited from the initiative.
The programme witnessed a large turnout, including traditional rulers, religious leaders, and residents who came for consultations, treatments, and surgeries.
The outreach was a display of commitment to improving healthcare in the Niger Delta region by the NDDC whose Managing Director and Chief Executive Director (MD/CEO), Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, was represented by the state coordinator, Mrs. Babawale Mercy.
Momoh expressed delight at the overwhelming response, stating that the target of 5,000 beneficiaries would not only be met but surpassed by the end of the programme.
A statement by the Special Assistant on Media and Communications to the Niger Delta Minister, John Mayaki, assured that with the 2024 budget being operational, the people of the Niger Delta region would witness a new NDDC.
He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his commitment to give the people of the Niger Delta maximum benefit of the oil from the region.
