ABSTRACT
The Niger-Delta region of Nigeria has a chequered history of human and material exploitation as well as environmental degradation and underdevelopment. As the heartbeat of Nigeria’s economy being the source of most revenues accruing to the federation in terms of oil mineral resources, the efforts at addressing its teeming challenge of development has taken difficult very dimension, moving from one government policy to another. Ensuring sustainable development in the Niger Delta has always appear as priority of every administration and numerous strategies and frameworks have been implemented without much success. The current framework for instituting and sustaining development in the region is the establishment of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in June 2000 and since its establishment, different civilian administration has pushed to channel development to the Niger Delta through the Commission. However, the study took a cursory look at the shortcomings of developmental agenda of federal government in the Niger Delta region, especially in relation to the funding and operation of the NDDC under the Buhari administration. Since 2015, federal government has engaged the development of Niger Delta through prioritizing the NDDC; meanwhile, the region is yet to come around its seeming underdevelopment. The study therefore assessed the contribution of NDDC to the sustainability of development in the region using qualitative archival method with reliance on both qualitative and quantitative data. The study found theoretical background in two monumental theories of development, viz; governance theory and economic penetration and integration theory respectively. The study found that whereas NDDC has taken giant strides in embarking on developmental projects across the nine NDDC states, such projects are either non-complimentary to the need of the communities or are of substandard. The quality of most of the projects could not justify the huge budget expended on them. Therefore, NDDC has not made much impact on the development of the region. The study recommended among other things, synergy between NDDC and other federal ministries that provide similar services to the oil producing communities to avoid duplication as well as synergy with the state governments irrespective of political leaning to ensure quality assurance and sustainability of the projects through multi-layer monitoring and project management.
