Acting chairman of the APC in Rivers State and representative of the state in the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Chief Tony Okocha, has revealed that the commission has a total of 953 abandoned projects in the state.
Okocha disclosed this during an interactive session with members of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers (RSCTR) in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
According to him, the Board is doing everything possible to change the negative perception about the agency.
“In my study, it was clear to me that Rivers State is number two, in terms of states that have abandoned projects. Rivers State has 953 abandoned NDDC projects. These projects are dotted and around the nooks and crannies of the state.
“We thought we could open up this interaction to ask ourselves and indeed ask our fathers, what happened? Because what happened was before we came. We are barely two months old. So, what happened? Why are these projects there uncompleted? he asked.
