Buhari To Inaugurate Police Quarters Built By NDDC
President Muhammadu Buhari will on Tuesday, September 28, inaugurate the Nigeria Police Barracks, Special Protection Unit, SPU, base 6 built by the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, at Omagwa, Ikwerre Local Government of Rivers State.
According to the NDDC Director, Corporate Affairs, Dr Ibitoye Abosede, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo , will commission the 66-flat residential quarters and administrative block for security personnel in Rivers State on behalf of Mr. President.
The project which had previously been inspected by the NDDC Interim Administrator, Mr Efiong Akwa, consists of an administrative block, an armoury, gate house, underground cell and 66 units of accommodation made up of the commander’s residence, second-in-command’s residence and 64 one-bedroom flats.
Akwa said that the completion of the project was another major achievement of the Buhari administration, noting: “When people say that NDDC is not working, you can see that it is not true. The problem is that people don’t get to acknowledge the numerous projects that the Commission executed or is executing.”
The NDDC boss noted that the project was very important in view of the security and economic challenges in the Niger Delta region, stating that it would add value to the living conditions of security officers in the oil-rich region.
Akwa said the project was part of a broad-based partnership with the Nigeria Police Force to add value to their efforts at improving regional security, adding that as an interventionist agency, the NDDC had a responsibility to make sure that those who take care of our safety were provided with befitting and comfortable accommodation.
With the completion of the project, Akwa stated that the stage was set for better days of improved and more secure Niger Delta region.
