The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has strengthened its Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (ACTU) as part of efforts to promote transparency, accountability, and good governance.
The NDDC Managing Director, Samuel Ogbuku, stated this while inaugurating the new executives of the unit at the commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
Represented by the Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Boma Iyaye, Mr Ogbuku described the unit as a critical mechanism for promoting ethical conduct and preventing corruption. He said the unit would also help strengthen public confidence in the commission and improve service delivery across the Niger Delta region.
The managing director charged members of the anti-corruption unit to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
“Corruption is a global challenge. As members of the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit, your integrity must remain unquestionable. If those entrusted with fighting corruption become compromised, everything is at stake. You must lead by example and uphold transparency and accountability,” he said.
