NDDC names building after late OMPADEC chair

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has honoured the late pioneer Chairman of the Oil Mineral Producing Areas Development Commission, Chief Albert Horsfall, by naming one of its ancillary buildings after him. NDDC Governing Board Chairman, Chiedu Ebie, described Horsfall as a patriotic Nigerian whose contributions to the development of the Niger Delta region and the country remained significant.

The NDDC Managing Director, Samuel Ogbuku, announced the gesture as part of the present administration's efforts to recognise people who contributed to the growth of the commission and the Niger Delta. The NDDC will also be flying its flags at half-mast in honour of Horsfall and is planning a tree-planting initiative to immortalise former officials who contributed to the commission's development.
