Niger Delta Basin Development Authority targets 10,000 jobs, N100m income per year

in the Niger Delta region. We need more funds to inject into the project to meet up the President Buhari’s policy of food sufficiency and security for Nigerians.

“Between now and the end of the year 2020, some of these projects will begin to function maximally. Virtually, everything will be produced here. We pray for good government policy and favorable economic environment. We plan to have palm oil mill, fish pond, we have poultry farm already and a lot more.

“We have ambitious plans for hybrid mango, pawpaw, plantain, palm tree and citrus plantations. When they are fully mature, obviously, we can feed the entire Niger Delta region and by extension Nigeria as a whole. The project is massive and the present management of the NDBDA is poised to achieve this objective within the shortest possible time”, he said.

Marklin also disclosed that the NDBDA would continue to devote every Friday sales to the people of Kpon community to create that sense of corporate social responsibility, said Tuesday sales would be for the general public.
