The paramount ruler of Eket local government area of Akwa Ibom, Edidem Etim Abia, has urged the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to use oil production quota as basis for projects
execution.
Abia stated this Monday in his palace in Eket when the Managing Director of NDDC, Obong Nsima Ekere, paid him a courtesy visit following his coronation on Friday.
The monarch noted that NDDC had not done much in Akwa Ibom, which he noted was the highest producer oil among the Niger Delta states.
He further noted that Eket local government had not felt much impact of NDDC and as such he requested that the Managing Director should consider Eket for projects next year.
Abia said that before NDDC came into existence, much of the projects were handled by ExxonMobil and the company had relaxed before the compulsory contribution of oil companies to NDDC.
