The Niger Delta Development Commission has delivered relief materials and aid to communities in Delta State that were severely affected by the flood disaster of 2022. These supplies were distributed to community leaders, including women’s and youth groups from all 25 local government areas of Delta State, at the Sapele Athletic Club in Sapele.
Monday Igbuya, the Delta State representative on the NDDC board, presented the items on behalf of the agency’s Chairman, Chiedu Ebie. The assistance included truckloads of rice, beans, mattresses, oil, noodles, toiletries, tomato paste, boats, cassava milling machines, sewing and grinding machines, and cooking salt.
Speaking during the distribution, Igbuya noted that “the palliatives were aimed at addressing the plights of victims of flood now grasping with the present economic crunch” adding that the initiative was part of swift responses by President Bola Tinubu in cushioning their hardship.
He said, “You remember the flood happened in 2022 and as you know President Bola Tinubu was not in office then, so was the NDDC Managing Director and Chairman of the board.
“Even though it happened in 2022, the victims are still in the throes of the aftermath. And when the issue came up, the President graciously approved this relief operation.
“The President’s Renewed Hope agenda made it imperative for the Commission to reach out to the victims, most of whom are still faced with mounting challenges from the disaster”.
Igbuya reiterated the NDDC’s dedication to initiatives aimed at positively influencing the lives of the people. He emphasized that the board is actively involved in endeavors that genuinely address the needs of the community and align with its mandate.
