NDDC, Governor Oborewori Reiterate Commitment to Quality Projects in Delta

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has assured that his government, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), and Chevron Nigeria Limited will insist on quality execution for the 70.75-kilometre Omadino-Okerenkoko-Escravos Road and bridges in Warri North Local Government Area.

A statement by Director, Corporate Affairs, NDDC, Seledi Thompson-Wakama, said Oborevwori made the assertion when members of Senate and House of Representatives Committees on NDDC, led by Chairman of the Senate Committee on NDDC, Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong, paid him a courtesy visit at Government House, Asaba.

Thompson-Wakama disclosed that members of the National Assembly, accompanied by NDDC Managing Director, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, and Director of the commission’s Delta State Office, Joseph Onoriode, were kicking off a two-day inspection of NDDC Projects in Delta and Cross River states.

In the statement, Oborevwori expressed satisfaction with the ongoing discussions between the state government, NDDC, and Chevron on the Omadino-Okerenkoko-Escravos Road.

Thompson-Wakama said the project was expected to connect Warri to key oil-producing coastal communities, enhancing economic activities, security, and infrastructure development across the region.

Oborewori stated his government was working with NDDC to fast-track the project’s delivery, restating his administration’s commitment to accountability, transparency, and cost-effective service delivery in all infrastructural projects across the state.

Earlier, Ekpenyong commended the Delta State governor’s infrastructural drive and emphasised the senate’s support for NDDC’s focus on Renewed Hope projects that directly impacted communities.

He said Senate and House of Representatives Committees on NDDC were on a verification tour of projects executed by the commission to ensure accountability and value for money.

The senate committee chairman on NDDC stated, “The 10th Senate under the leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio, remains fully committed to supporting the NDDC in completing these projects to the highest standards.”

He said, “Our visit is not only to inspect but to ensure that NDDC projects are completed on schedule for the benefit of our people. In this regard, the committee pledges its support in working with the state government and the NDDC in addressing the challenges of developing the Niger Delta region.”
