The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), has restated its commitment to prioritising the wellbeing of children in the Niger Delta region.

The NDDC Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, who stated this during the commemoration of the International Children’s Day at the NDDC Event Centre in Port Harcourt, said the Commission was focused on social bonding and inclusion for children in the region.

Ogbuku, represented by the NDDC Deputy Director of Education, Health, and Social Services, Mrs Chioma Nwakwue, stated that beyond infrastructure development, the Commission emphasises human capital development.

“We, at the NDDC, are passionate about our children in the region, and we are committed to putting smiles on their faces. We decided to commemorate this event because our children are the future of the Niger Delta region.

“They are a generation that will shape the region and the world to come. We must ensure that their development is handled with care. This would make a positive impact on the lives of our children and ensure we all have a better tomorrow,” he said.
