The Human Rights Organization during the visit to the Chairman noted that development is the right of the people and Odidi community should not be left out in terms of project from the government and it's agent NDDC


The Human Rights Organization urge those in NDDC to immediately plan and execute  a project to address the Infrastructural deficit, economic neglect, lack of basic social amenities in oil rich Odidi community Delta State.


"It is totally unfair to allow the Odidi people to suffer from the disastrous environmental and ecological damages that have put an end to all their means of livelihood".

The Human Rights Organization and the Odidi Community has syngezied to jointly embark on the  protests if NDDC remains silent to the legitimate complains and demands of the  people.
