Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has advised the newly inaugurated board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to focus on the execution of projects that would be of immense benefit to people across the region.
Diri said a situation where the regional development agency competes with or duplicates projects of states in the Niger Delta was poor utilisation of national resources.
His Chief Press Secretary, Mr Daniel Alabrah, in a press release, said the governor congratulates the Managing Director, Samuel Ogbuku, and the State Representative, Denyabofa Dimaro, on their appointment.
