The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is gearing up for a transformative agric investment summit, aiming to bolster food security and job creation in the region. This initiative comes at a critical time when economic diversification is essential for the Niger Delta, an area often impacted by instability and environmental degradation.
