The Niger Delta Development Commission has so far completed 742 infrastructural projects spread across the 23 local government areas of Rivers State.
The projects include regional roads, hospitals, bridges, electricity, shoreline protection, reclamation and school hostels.
Speaking at the NDDC state office in Port Harcourt, the representative of Rivers State on the board of the NDDC, Hon. Harry Dabibi, explained that the commission had so far awarded 1,688 projects and was currently working on 536 projects, 140 of which were big ticket projects.
He added that 742 projects had been completed and 134 of the projects had been commissioned while 34 were ready for commissioning.
Dabibi charged all NDDC contractors to fulfil their obligations to the commission by working expeditiously to deliver the various projects on schedule and in accordance with specified standards.
He warned, “Contractors that are not on site or fail to keep to specifications will have themselves to blame because the NDDC will not hesitate to take appropriate measures to bring them to book.”
