Samuel Ogbuku, managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission , says the commission will invest in solar power as part of its efforts to tackle climate change in the country.

The NDDC boss said the commission’s goal is to power every community in the Niger Delta region with solar energy. “Our target is that every community in the Niger Delta region will be powered by solar; which is renewable and a cheap form of energy,” he said. Sunny Akpoyibo, president of the council on renewable energy, pledged to support NDDC in developing projects with carbon values.
