The newly inaugurated NDDC Board on Friday paid a courtesy visit to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
The visit was led by the new NDDC Chairman, Mrs. Lauretta Ifeanyi Onochie.
During the visit, the Governor advised the Board to embrace the conceptualisation and implementation of projects like the construction of high ways with bridges to link States.
"There are what we call regional development projects that can link up two states. Those are the kind of things NDDC should go for and give to competent contractors. Leave these political contractors. Leave all these portfolio contractors. Leave them alone. You have come to my state and you have seen what I have done."
The new Chairman, Mrs. Lauretta Ifeanyi Onochie said they visited to formally introduced themselves to him as the governor of their landlord State.
She also said they came to ask for guidance and seek his advise on how best the new board could break away from the provision of poor services and projects known of NDDC and replicate his quality project delivering mantra across the region.
