THE Ogbia Youth Leaders Forum (OYLF) has called on their kinsman, President Goodluck Jonathan, to support Bayelsa State\u2019s quest to clinch the position of executive director, Projects, in the new Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, board. <\/p>\n

    In a statement jointly signed by the National Chairman, Comrade Tuanam Henry Eteli and National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Azibanator Andy Jonas, the OYLF declared that aside from giving serious considerations to the \u2018Big Six\u2019 Niger Delta States \u2013 Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo and Delta (BRACED) \u2013 when the new board is constituted in September, the President must also ensure that a Bayelsan gets the position of executive director, Projects. <\/p>\n

    The statement reads, \u201cwith the expected inauguration of the new board of NDDC by September 2013, a sound NDDC board is strategic to proper management of human and material resources that can really translate to the development of the region. We, therefore, call on the Presidency to take precaution in the choice of new appointments to avoid the recurring decimals of unproductive service delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n

   The group noted that since the chairman of NDDC board is expected to go to Cross River and Managing Director to Akwa-Ibom, it would augur well if the position of the Executive Director, Projects (ED\/P) comes to Bayelsa State because it has never occupied the position since the formation of the commission. Interestingly, the group contends that its clamour is driven by the fact that there is an urgency to facilitate the rapid and sustainable development of the Niger Delta into an economically prosperous, socially stable, ecologically regenerative and politically peaceful region. <\/p>\n

    Commending the efforts of the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Kingsley Kuku, for his various developmental interventions, especially as they affect Niger Delta youths, OYLF called for a management that will anchor the NDDC\u2019s mandate to deliver on critical infrastructural development as well as human capacity building.<\/p>\n

    Otherwise known as Jonathan\u2019s Kinsmen, the OYLF is a group comprising youth leaders from across various organisations such as the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Nigerian Youth Parliament (NYP), Niger Delta Youth Leaders Forum (NDYLF), South-South Youth Assembly (SSYA), Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), and Ogbia Graduates Forum (OGF) and others.<\/p>\n
