The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has redeployed 11 directors
to different offices and directorates to boost its performance in the
development of the
Niger Delta.
The Managing Director of NDDC, Mr Nsima Ekere, said on Thursday in Port
Harcourt that the decision to shake-up the NDDC was taken after the
commission’s retreat in Port Harcourt.
He said the affected directors were drawn from the commission’s offices
in Abuja, Bayelsa, Imo, Ondo, Delta and Rivers states.
The NDDC chief gave the names of the affected officers redeployed as: Dr
Princewill Ekanim, who was redeployed to the office of the Managing Director as
Director of Special Duties.
Mr Effiong Ephraim moves from Special Duties to head Abuja Liaison
office, while Mrs Rachael Odiri, formerly Head of Bayelsa State office now
heads Abuja office.
Also, Mr Wanoro Weli, a former Director in charge of Utility
Infrastructure Development and Waterways would head Ondo State office,
replacing Mr Emma Audu who becomes Director of Project Monitoring and
Supervision.
In similar vein, Mr Nosa Agbongiasede takes charge of Imo State office,
while Godwin Jaja, formerly Director of Imo office would take charge of Human
Resources Directorate.
Mr Etim Eyoette was elevated to the position of Acting Director, Utility
Infrastructure Development and Waterways (UIDW), while Mr Ndubuisi Ahiakwo was
moved from UIDW in Delta to Project Monitoring and Supervision (Western Zone).
Mr Uno Uno now heads Project Monitoring and Supervision (Eastern Zone)
while Mr Felix Aomreore becomes Head, Project Monitoring and Supervision
(Central Zone).
Ekere said the redeployment would enable the commission to actualise
reforms designed to restore the commission’s core mandate and improve the
living conditions of residents in the Niger Delta.
`We are taking actions to reform our operations for optimum performance;
and part of the first step was to deploy officers to where they would offer
better service.
“It is important to offer the region and our people better service;
improve the quality of our projects; and ensure that we pay for projects and
programmes that we implement,” he said. (NAN)
