The 2025 edition of the Bayelsa State Annual Thanksgiving Service, held at the magnificent Ecumenical Centre in Igbogene, witnessed the graceful attendance of two illustrious sons of the state — Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), and Dr. Doodei Week, the Commission’s Director of Procurement. Their presence added colour, warmth, and prestige to the spiritually uplifting event that continues to symbolize Bayelsa’s deep sense of gratitude to God for His divine blessings and guidance.[Read full story here]

The Bayelsa State Annual Thanksgiving Service, initiated during the administration of former Governor Seriake Dickson, has become a unifying tradition and a hallmark of the state’s devotion to God. It is celebrated every year to express collective gratitude for peace, progress, and divine protection over the government and people of Bayelsa State. The event has since grown into one of the most significant religious gatherings in the Niger Delta, attracting dignitaries, clerics, and citizens from all walks of life.

Dr. Ogbuku and Dr. Week’s attendance at this year’s edition reflected their humility, faith, and commitment to the spiritual and moral foundation upon which the state continues to build its development agenda. The duo, both celebrating their birthdays around the period, were warmly received and highly appreciated by the congregation. They were seen exchanging cordial handshakes and engaging warmly with distinguished personalities from within and outside Bayelsa State, including top government officials, clergy, traditional rulers, and invited guests from across the country.

Their presence not only reinforced their bond with the people but also underscored their shared vision for the peace, unity, and prosperity of Bayelsa and the Niger Delta region at large. Dr. Ogbuku and Dr. Week remain shining examples of purposeful leadership and dedication to service — men whose contributions continue to drive the region’s growth and transformation.

The Niger Delta Progress-Reporters, led by its coordinator, Dave Ikiedei Asei, were on hand to cover the event, capturing the inspiring moments and the spiritual atmosphere that made the 2025 Thanksgiving Service a memorable celebration of faith, gratitude, and hope for the future.

May God continue to bless Dr. Samuel Ogbuku and Dr. Doodei Week for their steadfast commitment to the development of Bayelsa State and the entire Niger Delta region.

Interrogating Ogbuku’s 50th birthday celebration Published by NIGER DELTA-PROGRESS-REPORTERS  September 12th, 2025 On August 19, the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Samuel Ogbuku, turned 50. A milestone. For a man of his status, you would expect a birthday bash complete with the dainties of vanity. And why not? A golden jubilee for a man of undeniable accomplishments deserves a festoon of golden confetti in Dubai, the Caribbean or any of the exotic offshore getaways. But not Ogbuku. He chose a different path. A path of value, decorum, and compassionate reflection on humanity especially on the well-being of the Niger Delta region.

So, rather than get drowned in the fountain of merriment and ...

He has consistently emphasized that the NDDC is not merely an interventionist body but a partner ...
