Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has decried what he calls marginalisation within marginalisation in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), appealing to the new leadership to revisit the original intention for setting up of the Commission. He made the remarks on Friday when the Acting Managing Director of the NDDC, Emmanuel Audu-Ohwavborua led a team of his top management staff on a courtesy call to the governor at Government House, Owerri.
During the visit, the Commission presented some drugs to the government which the Managing Director said were meant for designated hospitals in Imo State. Governor Uzodimma said over the years past NDDC leadership resorted to maintenance approach to solving problems affecting the member states as opposed to projects conception and implementation, noting that from the Act establishing the Commission, so many things have been left unaccomplished. He regretted that even in the area of interventions, some of the states like Imo as a critical stakeholder in the oil and gas sector has not been treated fairly.
