Minister of Regional Development, Abubakar Momoh, has confirmed that the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) continues to operate, despite rumours suggesting its dissolution.
These rumors surfaced following President Bola Tinubu’s decision to create the Ministry of Regional Development, a move that involved the restructuring of several government departments.
Recent changes led to the closure of the Ministry of Sports Development and the Ministry of Niger Delta. Abubakar Momoh, previously the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, now leads the new Ministry of Regional Development.
This expanded ministry is responsible for overseeing the NDDC, the North East Development Commission (NEDC), and the South East Development Commission (SEDC).
The NDDC remains fully functional within the Ministry of Regional Development, which aims to coordinate the efforts of various regional development agencies.
This reorganization is intended to provide a unified structure without altering the NDDC’s ongoing role in the Niger Delta.
Momoh assured the region’s residents that the changes are administrative and do not impact the NDDC’s core objectives.
