DETERMINED to ensure that police welfare is given adequate attention, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has provided a N130 million residential quarters for the personnel in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Speaking during the commissioning, the Acting Managing Director of the Commission, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, said the project is vital in the face of recent security and economic challenges and incidents in the Niger Delta.

“I believe it is incumbent upon us to continue to collaborate with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that these challenges are resolved and our people begin to move away from destructive to constructive engagement,” she said.

Mrs. Semenitari said the project was part of a broad-based partnership with the Nigeria Police Force to add value to their effort at improving regional security, adding that as an interventionist agency, the NDDC had a responsibility to make sure that those who take care of our safety were provided with befitting and comfortable accommodation.

She affirmed that the commissioning was “a worthy testimony of the commission’s new commitment to the speedy and credible completion of projects,” adding that the NDDC will work hard to complete ongoing projects “so that the people of the Niger Delta region will enjoy the benefits of their immense contributions to the wealth and well-being of Nigeria.

“This is what we owe them. This is what we owe ourselves, as custodians of their collective aspiration,” Mrs. Semenitari said.

The NDDC boss commended the contractors of the project and called on all NDDC contractors to emulate them.
