AKWA IBOM IS HIGHEST CONTRIBUTOR TO THE NDDC PURSE, BUT GETS MEDIA BASHING ON PLANET 101.1FM IN RETURN?

Arising from oil exploitation and exploration, the main sources of revenue of the people are plundered and destroyed to generate revenue and service the nation's economy. The environmental degration and other hazards have left our life expectancy level at an all time low. As Akwa Ibom people, we are then supposed to be interested in how the only intervention agency in the country, funded with our common wealth, is faring in its responsibility to the people. This is moreso because the agency, NDDC is manned by an experienced dynamic son of the state His Excellency, Obong Nsima Ekere, as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.
However instead of improving on substandard job delivery on roads as witnessed on Nelson Mandela road, Ebong Essien street, Itu Road, Church road among others in Uyo, the commission is busy sponsoring media attacks on the government of Akwa Ibom State. It is left to be discovered if the agency is also sponsoring radio and tv attacks simultaneously on the governors of Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and the other state in the subregion? Has the mandate of the commission been shifted to that of oversight functions on state governments which originaly was the responsibility of the states' Houses of Assembly?

Below is the promo of a radio programme sponsored by the Niger Delta Development Commission as circulated by the producers:

The radio station Planet FM owned by a pacesetter Mr Tony Afia, is apparently unaware of the twist in the programme content it is offering to the public, which at best could be said to be a deceit on the gullible public. Is this ethically or morally right? Should the media house be blamed for turning a blind eye or should the producers of the programme be the fall guys?
Seriously, if NDDC could come out with a smoke screen of promoting its projects and end up promoting none, but attacking the government of a state that is largely funding its operations, then something fundamentally wrong needs to be addressed about the nature of our leaders.
For all the ill effects, for all the injustices and for all the deprivation incurred for Nigeria to survive, Akwa Ibom gets bashings from NDDC under the supervision of its own son, Obong Nsima Ekere.
