The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) was founded in 2000 with the primary purpose of promoting the oil-rich Niger Delta area of Nigeria.
One of the commission’s mandate is to educate and train the young people of the oil-rich Niger Delta regions in order to reduce militancy and conflicts while building vital infrastructure to support diversification and production and the commission has over the years trained thousands of young people in various disciplines.
The Commission has now commenced its Foreign Post Graduate Scholarship Program for this year, to help the region’s human resource development.
