Abia state Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has advised the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to place itself above politics and work towards realizing the mandate for which it was established which is enhancing the welfare of the people of the area.

The Governor gave the advice when he received in audience the Ag MD/CEO of the commission, Mrs Ibim Semenitari at the Government House, Umuahia.

According to him, a situation where state governments cannot make inputs to the happenings on the NDDC board is not palatable and called for collaboration between the commission and stakeholders in the region.

The Governor who stated that what affects one part of the Niger Delta affects the other called for unity between the peoples of the area and commended the vision of the NDDC boss in going to the field to see things for herself.

The Governor who lamented the poor state of the Aba Port Harcourt federal road as well as other roads such as the Obohia and Ohanku roads awarded by the NDDC in Aba said that he is prepared to create a platform for collaboration with NDDC.

Dr Ikpeazu commended the Ag MD of NDDC for starting well and encouraged her to come up with strategies that will yield positive results.

Earlier, Mrs Ibim Seminitari explained that she is on a region wide tour of the Niger Delta to acquaint herself with NDDC projects, disclosing that she will inspect projects of the commission in parts of the state including the Obohia and Ohanku road during the visit.

She lamented the poor state of NDDC projects in parts of the Niger Delta many of which are at different stages of abandonment and stressed that Abia especially Aba has a worthy place in NDDC scheme of things as a commercial nerve center in the country.
