According to Ogbuku, subject to the provision of Section 4 of the NDDC Establishment Act, “a member of the board other than an ex-official member, shall hold office for a term of four years at the first instance and may be reappointed for a further term of four years and no more”.

Ogbuku said that those pushing for the truncation of the tenure of the NDDC board were not happy that members were working harmoniously to deliver on the mandate of President Bola Tinubu for the people of the Niger Delta region.

He lamented that despite the efforts of the NDDC board and management to deliver quality projects and programmes, some with selfish motives were working behind the scenes to return the commission to the days of instability and non-performance.

He stated that nothing would distract the NDDC board and management from holding fast to its mantra of transiting from transactions to transformation.

Ogbuku advised those scheming for a change of batons at NDDC to hold their horses, as Tinubu re-appointed him for another term of four years, noting that the region should be ready to see more people-oriented projects and programmes.
