FG, NLNG Partner to Fast-Track Completion of 27.1km Bonny Road in Rivers
By: Fabian
The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has partnered with Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) to accelerate the completion of the 27.1-kilometre Bonny Ring Road and Bridges in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State.
NDDC Managing Director, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, disclosed this during an inspection of the project, reaffirming the commission’s commitment to delivering the road alongside other key infrastructure projects.
This was made known in a statement issued on Saturday in Port Harcourt by the NDDC Director of Corporate Affairs, Seledi Thompson-Wakama.
Ogbuku explained that the collaboration with NLNG aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s directive to fast-track infrastructure development in the region.
Accompanied by the Executive Director of Projects, Victor Antai, and other top officials, Ogbuku also paid a courtesy visit to the Amanyanabo and Natural Ruler of Bonny Kingdom, King Edward Asimini William Dappa Pepple III, at his palace.
During the visit, Ogbuku informed the monarch that beyond the road inspection, the commission sought his royal blessings ahead of the NDDC’s 25th anniversary celebrations, which will commence with a thanksgiving service on Sunday, July 6, 2025, in Ondo State.
As part of the anniversary activities, he announced that the NDDC headquarters in Port Harcourt would be named in honour of the late Harold Dappa-Biriye, acknowledging his pivotal role in the Niger Delta struggle.
Ogbuku assured the people of the region that the commission remained focused on improving their lives through projects driven by genuine needs assessments.
“We are committed to implementing the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal Government in the Niger Delta,” he said. “Our mandate from President Bola Tinubu is clear—transform the oil-producing communities of Nigeria.”
He added that the commission has engaged international oil and gas companies to secure partnerships for large-scale infrastructure projects.
“We are collaborating with NLNG to deliver the Bonny Ring Road, the Kaa-Ataba Bridge, and the Okrika-Borokiri Bridge,” Ogbuku stated.
He stressed the importance of partnerships, saying, “Working with stakeholders, we can achieve faster and more sustainable development. Our role is to complement state governments, not compete with them.”
