The Chairman of the Governing Board of the South-South Development Commission, SSDC, Rt. Hon. Chibudom Nwuche has urged members of the Board and Management of the Commission to uphold the highest standards of accountability, prudence, transparency, integrity, and professionalism in managing the newly established regional development agency.
Speaking at the Fourth Regular Meeting of the Governing Board of the Commission in Abuja, last week, Nwuche, a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, emphasised the importance of teamwork, collective responsibility, institutional loyalty, adherence to due process, and strict compliance with the Commission’s Establishing Act and with extant government regulations and guidelines.
He advised members of the Board and Management to remain focused on the Commission’s mandate and to avoid actions that could undermine its credibility or erode public confidence.
“We must not do anything that would bring ridicule to this Commission, embarrassment to our region, or disappointment to those who entrusted us with this important national responsibility. We must distinguish ourselves by the quality of our conduct and the standards we uphold in managing the affairs of this Commission. We must also ensure that personal interests and egos do not hinder us from fulfilling the mandate entrusted to us by Mr. President and the people of the South-South region,” he said.
