The residents including the Chairman of Mininta Community, Mr. Rogers Iwunna described the projects as a big relief to the people. 

They made their feelings known during inspection of some of the projects Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, completed during the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. 

In line with his “doing things right” mantra, the Acting Managing Director NDDC, Dr. Emmanuel Audu – Ohwavborua thought it wise to embark on inspection of projects done by the Commission in the nine states to showcase the efforts of the interventionist agency and the President to develop rural communities in the Niger Delta region.
