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.

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