A former Acting Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission,NDDC, Pastor Power Ziakede Aginighan,  has commended Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan for the landmark achievements of his administration even as he appealed for the completion of all projects particularly in the Ijaw territory area in the state.

“It is disheartening that the entire Ijaw territory of Delta State does not deserve any participation in this bonanza of projects. I could hardly resist the tears from my eyes when I read the 2013 Democracy Day special edition of Tell Magazine in which your administration’s achievements were well showcased with nothing to show in the Ijaw territory.

So far, there is no single project worth N500m commenced, completed and commissioned by you in any part of the Ijaw territory”, Aginighan said in a letter to the governor.
He noted that Bomadi Bridge was the only legacy project of the last administration in the state for the entire Ijaw territory  even as  the Ijaw are eternally grateful to the government. ‘’I am delighted that you have on your scorecard the following mega projects being either completed or ongoing in different parts of the state: Asaba International Airport, upgrading of Osubi Airport to international standards, Ogidigben Free Trade Zone, Warri Industrial Business Park, Delta Leisure and Destination Park”, the former NDDC boss said.
“However, if you can muster the courage to right this monumental injustice done to the Ijaw in Delta State before you hand over on the 29th May 2015,  you will still be immortalised in the history of the Ijaw people.”
