Niger Delta Development Commission

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is a government agency established to promote sustainable development and improve living conditions in Nigeria's Niger Delta region. This area is rich in oil and gas resources but has faced challenges like environmental degradation, poverty, and underdevelopment. The NDDC works to address these issues by implementing projects focused on infrastructure, health, education, and environmental remediation. Its goal is to ensure that the benefits of the region's natural resources are shared more equitably and that the local communities can achieve economic growth and improved quality of life.
