Movement for the Survival of Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND), on Sunday, commended the appointment of Chief Okon Umanah as the new Minister of Niger Delta Affairs.<\/p>\n

National President of MOSIEND, Kenedy Tonjo-West, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yenagoa that the people of the Niger Delta region were optimistic that Umanah had the capacity to make a difference.<\/p>\n

Tonjo-West noted that given the support, Umanah would salvage the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)<\/a> from the neglect and manipulation it had suffered in the past.<\/p>\n

He regretted that the non-composition of a substantive board for NDDC for over three years had deprived the region of the much-needed development that had necessitated the creation of the interventionist agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cMOSIEND urges the people of Niger Delta to support and cooperate with the minister for democratic dividends to get to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an accomplished economist, accountant, and public administrator, we are expecting credible, transparent, and people-oriented policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe policies should, in particular, cover human capital development, entrepreneurship, and vocational training, incentive to grow SMEs, cottage industries, improved volunteering, attracting investors and health care, etc.\u201d Tonja-West said.<\/p>\n

He urged Umana to ensure the immediate constitution of a substantive board for NDDC to ensure broad-based participation in the affairs of the commission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
