The
victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the recent presidential elections is a
testimony to the overwhelming confidence of Nigerians in his capacity and
commitment to rebuilding Nigeria and taking the country to the next
level.
The
Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Prof.
Nelson Brambaifa, made this assertion in a congratulatory message to President
Buhari after his re-election for another four-year term on February 23.
Prof.
Brambaifa said that President Buhari has remained focused on his change agenda
to strengthen governance and tackle corruption, establish food security across
the nation, improve healthcare efficiency, improve national security and
protect lives and property, as well as rebuild infrastructure and create jobs
for all Nigerians.
The
NDDC boss stated that "it was important to note that President Buhari has
shown commitment towards the sustainable development of the Niger Delta
region," adding that, for the first time since its establishment, the
Commission was receiving the full statutory financial contribution of the
Federal Government because of President Buhari's determination to rebuild the
region."
Prof.
Brambaifa stated: "It is also important to recall that it took President
Buhari for the Federal Government to begin to repay over N1.8 trillion owed
NDDC since its establishment, so that more funds would be available to
discharge our mandate, as well as our obligations to our contractors.
"It
took the decisive action of the Federal Government, under the direction of Mr.
President, to help restore peace, security and social stability in the Niger
Delta. Mr. Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, led a region wide
interaction with the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, and major stakeholders in
the region and the peace we enjoy today is the result of his strategic
intervention," he added.
He
said that the victory of President Buhari is a victory for all Nigerians,
particularly the people of the Niger Delta region, stating that "it
affirms our confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari's determination to give
all Nigerians a government which addresses their needs and bolsters our shared
commitment to making the Niger Delta, in particular, a region which fulfills
the expectations of the people."
Prof.
Brambaifa declared that the people are expectant that "the next four years
will usher in a better country, under the leadership of President Buhari, which
will improve their lives." He avowed that NDDC will work even harder to
facilitate regional development and improve the living conditions of the
people.
He
added: "We are happy to associate with you and will continue to work with
you to fulfil your vision of a better country and your mission to make Nigeria
and the Niger Delta a better place."
