He said: “The board will promote citizen participation, ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation of projects within the nine oil producing states that make up the Niger Delta.

“The board will effectively discharge its duties to the utmost benefit of the oil producing states.

“The NDDC board, under my leadership, will experience a huge positive difference and significant impact.

“We will have a different NDDC; one that will have value for money, one that accountability will be the watchword, one that we will go to the people to ask them the project that they want.”
