The Commissioner representing Cross River State in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Rt. Hon. Orok Duke, has undertaken a significant humanitarian initiative by delivering a truckload of relief materials to the Bakassi returnees, aiming to alleviate their hardships.

In a formal presentation held at the Bakassi returnees camp in Ikang on Friday, Duke highlighted the essence of the intervention, emphasizing that it was designed to augment the ongoing efforts of the Cross River State government in addressing the challenges faced by the returnees.

Addressing the camp coordinator during the handover, Duke urged the efficient distribution of the relief materials to ensure they reached those in dire need. He asserted, “This would not only provide immediate relief but also motivate the NDDC to intensify its support for the Bakassi community.”

The Commissioner reassured the returnees that their pressing concerns, such as the need for improved roads, electricity, a jetty, and boats for security agencies, would be promptly communicated to the NDDC for swift action. He also committed to advocating for broader developmental initiatives, including enhancements in education, healthcare, and economic empowerment.

Duke acknowledged the pervasive needs across various regions, mentioning that future relief efforts would extend to other affected areas within the state. He stated, “We have invasion and refugee camps in Obanliku and Boki which we are working towards. Ours is to ameliorate whatever situation we find ourselves in.”

In their remarks, Hon. Ani Esin, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Niger Delta Affairs, and Dr. Ekpo Ekpo Bassey, a former member representing Bakassi in the Cross River State House of Assembly, expressed profound gratitude to the NDDC Commissioner. They lauded his dedication to improving the welfare of the Bakassi returnees.

Prince Aston Joseph Inyang, the camp coordinator, along with the camp management committee members, received the relief materials on behalf of the returnees. Inyang conveyed heartfelt thanks to Hon. Orok Duke and the NDDC for their benevolent support, assuring that the items would be distributed equitably.

The relief package comprised a variety of essential items, including bags of rice and beans, beds, cartons of noodles, tin tomatoes, toiletries, footwear, mosquito nets, and seasoning cubes, among others.

This humanitarian gesture underscores the commitment of the NDDC and its representatives to the well-being of displaced persons, reinforcing the collaborative efforts required to tackle the multifaceted challenges in the Niger Delta region.

Hon. Orok Duke’s intervention is a testament to the power of responsive governance and the impact of targeted relief efforts in restoring hope and dignity to affected communities.

The Bakassi returnees, who have endured significant adversities, now have a renewed sense of support and solidarity from both state and federal entities, thanks to such compassionate interventions.

As the NDDC continues to address the urgent needs of the Niger Delta’s vulnerable populations, the ongoing collaboration with local authorities promises to bring about meaningful and sustained improvements in the lives of those most affected.
