NDDC LEADERSHIP REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO TINUBU’S LEGACY PROJECTS: EBIE AND OGBUKU INSPECT KEY INFRASTRUCTURE IN RIVERS STATE

By Dave Ikiedei Asei Niger Delta Progress-Reporters March 6, 2026

​PORT HARCOURT, NIGERIA — In a decisive move to actualize the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the leadership of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) conducted a high-level inspection of transformative "legacy projects" across Rivers State on March 5, 2026.

​The delegation, led by the Chairman of the Governing Board, Mr. Chiedu Ebie, and the Managing Director/CEO, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, demonstrated the Commission's unwavering resolve to bridge the infrastructure gap and elevate the living standards of the Niger Delta people.

​BRIDGING COMMUNITIES: THE KAA-ATABA STRATEGIC LINK

​The inspection began at the 1.2-kilometre Kaa-Ataba Bridge, a monumental engineering feat designed to link the Khana and Andoni Local Government Areas.

​Chairman Chiedu Ebie emphasized that the bridge is one of the most significant infrastructure undertakings in the Commission’s history. Dr. Samuel Ogbuku further highlighted that the project is not merely about concrete and steel, but about stimulating economic activities and fostering regional integration.

​"We are satisfied with the level of progress recorded so far," the leadership noted. "Our Board and Management are working hand-in-glove with contractors to ensure this project is delivered on schedule to mark the third anniversary of Mr. President in office."


​REVOLUTIONIZING REGIONAL HEALTHCARE: THE NIGER DELTA REGIONAL HOSPITAL

​The tour proceeded to the Orthopaedic and Cardiovascular Hospital in Port Harcourt. This specialized facility represents the NDDC’s holistic approach to development, moving beyond roads to address critical healthcare needs.

​Dr. Samuel Ogbuku reaffirmed that the hospital would be equipped with world-class modern medical facilities. To ensure sustainability and excellence, the Commission intends to:

  • ​Engage in strategic partnerships with global hospital management experts.
  • ​Provide specialized care in cardiovascular and orthopaedic medicine.
  • ​Create a medical hub that serves as a center of excellence for both the region and the nation.

​DELIVERING THE RENEWED HOPE AGENDA

​The visit served as a powerful reaffirmation of the directive from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Both Mr. Ebie and Dr. Ogbuku made it clear: abandoned projects are a thing of the past.

​Under the current leadership, the NDDC is transitioning from a "contracts-based" agency to a "project-delivery" powerhouse. The commitment to commissioning these legacy projects by May 2026 stands as a testament to the efficient and transparent governance currently steering the Commission.

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 ...

Redefining Public Service for the Modern Era: Dr. Samuel Ogbuku’s Leadership in NDDC By Niger Delta Progressive Reporters September 16, 2025 Awudumu Reigneth Audu Public service in the modern era requires far more than traditional bureaucracy and rigid processes; it demands innovation, transparency, and responsiveness to the people’s needs.
