politicians from other geo-political zones to ensure the creation of development commissions for their various zones.
The NDDC was created in the year 2000 by the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo administration to replace the Oil Mineral Producing Areas Development Commission . The NDDC raised the hopes of the people of the nine states covered by the interventionist agency for speedy development and freedom from the environmental hazards, arising from the activities of oil and gas companies in the area. The states covered by the commission are Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Delta, Ondo, Imo, and Abia.
“Since inception in 2000, NDDC has received at least $40bn for projects in oil-rich Niger Delta yet failed to achieve the Niger Delta Regional Development Masterplan to lay the foundation for transforming the region into Nigeria’s Dubai,” BudgIT said.
