The Natural and Paramount Ruler of Barako, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, HRM (Mene) Kadilo Kabari, has identified the criteria that should guide President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in appointing the members of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
In an interview with the Vanguard News, the Monarch said:
“For the needed change to happen in NDDC, the President, being a tested excellent human resource engager and manager in governance, should let capacity, merit, and integrity override the partisan interest that has in the past determined who manages the Commission.”
He also said:
“It is unfortunate that an Agency meant to fast-track the transformation of the region has become a patronage tool and conduit pipe where the collective resources of the region are frittered away in conspiracies dictated by forces, who are not from the region.”
