By Passman Akpos
Abuja stood still as Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), emerged among the highly-coveted recipients of the Distinguished Award for Excellence in Infrastructure Delivery & Sustainable Regional Growth at the Nigeria Excellence Awards in Public Service (NEAPS).
The prestigious honour—driven by the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation—was presented on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by Senator George Akume, putting the spotlight firmly on the NDDC’s renewed development vision.
> “I am deeply humbled… We remain focused. We remain committed. And we remain determined,” Dr. Ogbuku declared, electrifying the audience with his passionate remarks.
The State House Conference Centre in Abuja buzzed with power players: senior government leaders, strategic policymakers and international development partners. To observers, the moment reflected one thing — the NDDC is no longer talking development, it is delivering it.
Analysts described the recognition as a “national endorsement of Ogbuku’s leadership trajectory” and a signal that the Niger Delta is finally witnessing practical, measurable transformation.
With strategic infrastructure projects steadily rising and renewed stakeholder confidence, the NDDC boss affirmed that the Commission will not slow down.
Dr. Ogbuku’s message was crystal clear: NDDC is not just building structures — it is rewriting the developmental narrative of the Niger Delta.
And now, with the Presidency’s stamp of approval, the momentum is only getting stronger.
