This is really sad and unfortunate. Nigerian institutions keep degenerating into inhuman bodies, committing heinous crimes against their own people. And the NDDC has grown to be one of the most notorious of them in this regard. It is instructive to remember that this Commission was created to help ameliorate the long-time injustice and neglect the Niger Delta people as oil and gas producers, the backbone of the Nigerian State, has suffered over the years. Any self-respecting group saddled with such high responsibility would thus have considered it of utmost necessity to ensure that their own people are not subjected to further mistreatment. But not the NDDC.

Bright and aspiring young people, who represent the future of their country, were sent to foreign lands to study, yet the NDDC see nothing wrong in abandoning them in cold and harsh weather, without food and clothing. Everyday these children are harassed by their universities and landlords. How will they be able to concentrate to study and research under such degrading and inhuman conditions? No sane people treat their own children this way. Let us join hands to bring an end to this sort of barbarism by people in authority.
