GIVE TO GAIN: HOW THE CIOD AND NDDC ARE REDEFINING LEADERSHIP THROUGH INCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP

By Dave Ikiedei Asei/Niger Delta Progress-Reporters/March 13, 2026

​In a powerful demonstration of commitment to gender-inclusive governance, the Chartered Institute of Directors (CIoD) recently hosted a high-level luncheon for female directors to commemorate International Women’s Day. The event centered on a transformative theme: “Give to Gain: Leadership, Mentorship and Impact.”

​The luncheon served as a premier gathering for professionals, corporate executives, and policymakers, creating a rare space for deep reflection on the mechanics of corporate leadership and the vital necessity of women supporting women.

​A Call for Inclusive Collaboration

​A standout moment of the event featured Mr. Chiedu Ebie, Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Participating as a lead panellist, Mr. Ebie lauded the CIoD for maintaining a platform that actively inspires:

  • ​Knowledge Sharing: Breaking down silos between industries.
  • ​Inclusive Leadership: Ensuring diverse voices are at the decision-making table.
  • ​Strategic Collaboration: Building bridges between the public and private sectors.

​The "Give to Gain" Philosophy

​The discussions highlighted that mentorship is not a one-way street. By investing time and wisdom in emerging leaders, established directors foster a more resilient and innovative corporate landscape. For the NDDC, this commitment to "Giving to Gain" is a cornerstone of its current trajectory—moving from basic service delivery to sustainable, high-impact transformation.

​NDDC… Making a Difference

​Through initiatives like these, the Commission continues to tell its story of growth, moving #Beyond25 and ensuring that the transition to transformation is inclusive, visionary, and impactful.

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. A true born of the region, precisely of the Ogbia ancestry in Bayelsa state, Ogbuku was raised to cherish value, integrity and uphold the dignity of his family tree, a family that through the ages has endured as an emblem of honour and veracity. So, rather than get drowned in the fountain of merriment and ...
