NDDC Donates Power Transformer, Electricity Facilities To Army

Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has donated a 300kV transformer and ancillary electrification facilities to the Nigerian Army 16 Brigade in Yenogoa, Bayelsa State.
At the presentation ceremony, the NDDC Managing Director, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, who was represented by the Executive Director, Projects, Dr. Victor Antai, said the donation followed a request from the brigade to assist in strengthening security infrastructure in the Niger Delta.
“We decided that critical electrical interventions should be provided to the 16 Army Brigade,” Antai said, adding that other interventions made to the 16 Brigade included the installation and stringing of 156 High Tension Pre-stressed concrete poles, installation and stringing of 90 Low Tension Pre-stressed concrete poles, with poles mounted, and the completion of 500 Watts street lights.
He pointed out that the Commission’s contributions to the 16 brigade would improve general efficiency and the fight against insecurity in the region.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Olufemi Oloyede, eulogised the NDDC for consistently supporting the Nigerian army.
“As you can see, the Niger Delta Development Commission executed most of the projects being commissioned. I want to applaud the NDDC for what it has been doing for the Nigerian Army and the region,” the Chief of Army Staff said.
