Concerns Raised Over Abandoned NDDC Projects In Abia Community
Concerns Raised Over Abandoned NDDC Projects In Abia Community....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Residents of Owo Ala Asa community in Ukwa West Local Government Area of Abia State have voiced their distress over a series of abandoned projects initiated by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in their area…….READ ALSO
Among the neglected projects highlighted by the community are the Owo Ala water project, Ngwaiyiekwe-Owo Ala Unuadienwe Road, Obehie-Owo Asa-Obegu road, Umuokwor Owo Ala Road, and various electricity projects. These infrastructural ventures, initially commissioned by UNPADEC and subsequently inherited by the NDDC, have remained stagnant, causing significant hardship to the local populace, particularly affecting the community’s agricultural productivity.
During a meeting with Abia State’s representative on the Niger Delta Development Commission board, Eruba Dimgba, community leader Chief Han Okpokiri and other residents underscored the pressing need for the completion of these abandoned projects. They implored Dimgba to utilize his position to ensure the timely execution of these vital infrastructural undertakings, emphasizing the pivotal role they play in alleviating the community’s plight.
In response, Dimgba assured the community of the board’s unwavering commitment to fulfilling the commission’s mandate by prioritizing the completion of all lingering projects in the state. He acknowledged the prevalence of abandoned projects not only in Abia but also across the entire South-East region, spanning roads, water facilities, schools, and healthcare centers. Dimgba affirmed the board’s decision to prioritize the completion of existing projects over the initiation of new ones, aiming to address the longstanding infrastructural deficits plaguing the region.
The community’s plea serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for sustained efforts to revitalize critical infrastructure and uplift the livelihoods of underserved communities in the Niger Delta region.

“NO GOING BACK!” — Rudeboy Reveals The Unforgivable Betrayal That Ended P-Square Forever!
Nigerian music star Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, has offered a candid look into the lingering feud with his twin brother, Peter Okoye, admitting that their fallout has shattered the trust between them.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Tribune, the singer revealed that the rift extends far beyond their legendary music group, P-Square, touching on painful family betrayals that make reconciliation almost impossible.
“Some Actions Leave Permanent Scars” — Rudeboy Speaks
Addressing the persistent pleas from fans hoping for a permanent P-Square reunion, Rudeboy explained that the public often overlooks the deep emotional toll and personal conflicts behind the scenes.
Key highlights from his interview include:
-
Shattered Trust: The feud is anchored in personal betrayals within the family rather than professional creative differences.
-
Years of Silence: Rudeboy noted that he repeatedly chose not to speak publicly in the past to shield his family’s image from controversy.
-
Focus on Peace of Mind: Moving forward, he is prioritizing his children, personal growth, and mental peace over trying to repair the broken bond.
In His Own Words
“I don’t think I can forgive my twin brother. What happened is something I never expected from my own blood.
The problem is not music. It’s deeper than that—it’s about family, trust, and betrayal. I have remained silent on several occasions in the past to protect the family’s image, but some actions leave permanent scars. Peace of mind now takes priority over everything else.”

POLICE SPEAK OUT: The Real Reason VeryDarkMan’s Ratel Members Were Dragged Into Custody!.
The Delta State Police Command has clarified the circumstances surrounding the brief detention of members from VeryDarkMan’s (VDM) Ratel Movement during a sanitation exercise in Ibusa.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The clarification follows complaints by group members on social media, who claimed they were wrongfully arrested simply for engaging in community service.
“Intentions Were Genuine, But Communication Was Lacking”
Speaking on behalf of the command, Delta State Police Public Relations Officer SP Bright Edafe confirmed that while the group’s community service initiative was noble, their failure to notify local authorities triggered security concerns among residents.
-
Community Alarm: The group began cleaning in an area where they were unfamiliar to locals, prompting suspicious residents to alert law enforcement.
-
Lack of Prior Notice: SP Edafe emphasized that organizations entering unfamiliar communities for public activities must notify local leadership and the police beforehand to prevent misunderstandings.
-
Immediate Release: Upon interviewing the group at the station, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) verified that their intentions were purely altruistic and cleared them to leave without any charges.
Police Caution Against Social Media Sensationalism
Addressing the group’s online posts, SP Edafe urged activists to prioritize administrative courtesy over social media drama:
“From findings, they were doing community service. However, when you want to do community service in a place you are not known, it’s important to consult the leaders and inform authorities like the police or community heads about your organisation and intention.
The community didn’t recognise them, hence they invited the police. The DPO interviewed them, discovered their intentions were genuine, and allowed them to go. Not everything should be turned to content, please.“
