Tinubu is Commended by the CDC for Creating the South South Development Commission.

The Community Development Committees (CDC) representing the Niger-Delta Oil and Gas Producing Areas have expressed their appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for the creation of the South South Development Commission (SSDC). The CDC regards this initiative as a crucial advancement towards national restructuring and empowerment, facilitated by a well-coordinated plan for sustainable regional development. Dr. Joseph Ambakederimo, the Chairman of the CDC’s Board of Trustees, noted that past efforts to improve the region have often been obstructed by political elites and opportunists. The CDC calls on President Tinubu to select individuals of outstanding integrity for the Commission to avoid the influence of partisanship, ethnicity, and elitism. Furthermore, the CDC underscores the importance of the Commission focusing on building partnerships and collaborations with related agencies to enhance the effectiveness of policies and programs aimed at benefiting the region.
