Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu, Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), has commended the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, on his selection of Hon. Ibori Suenu and Jafaru Leko as chairman and deputy chairman of the House Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), respectively.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Ugochinyere, who represents Ideato North, South Federal Constituency in Imo State, expressed confidence that the duo will work hard to ensure that the interventionist commission under their supervision realizes its full potential and vision.

He said;

I congratulate my able colleagues on their appointments as Chairman, Deputy Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). NDDC is a federal agency established to foster sustainable development in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The agency is dedicated to making the region a better place for its people and empowering them to enjoy its wealth. Though it has made some impact and achieved some successes in providing infrastructure, empowerment programs and so on to the region. However, it still faces challenges and I believe Suenu and Leko will work together with relevant stakeholders to surmount those challenges to realise its full potential and vision.
