Niger Delta youth group under the aegis of Pan Niger Delta Youth Leadership Forum (PANLEAF) have vowed to protest the tenure elongation of the present board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). It contended that to give a total fresh four years tenure to the same state is something totally alien to the NDDC enabling Act itself and an assault on their collective sensibility. “But in all sincerity, the claim that the, Victor Ndoma-Egba led-board was given a fresh term of four years is a highly insensitive thing. We hereby call on the presidency to rescind this injustice in the interest of peace and stability in our region. And on the alternative, appoint the highest-ranking staff of the Commission from Bayelsa State as Managing Director.
