“We should support the new NDDC Board and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to succeed. We should stop any form of grievances, protest and acrimony against those newly appointed into the NDDC Board and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.

Despite various ethnic groups in South-South we are one. Therefore, we should love ourselves and work together in unity to achieve the needed development”.
