The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has partnered the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu to boost healthcare, education and other interventions across the country.

The partnership, aimed at strengthening the healthcare system and improving access to quality medical care, will focus on various areas, including medical and education interventions.

NDDC’s Managing Director, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, who announced this after the meeting with the First Lady at the State House in Abuja, said the commission was impressed by RHI’s laudable projects and decided to collaborate with it.

A statement yesterday in Abuja by the Senior Special Assistant to the First Lady on Media, Busola Kukoyi, said the joint medical outreach programme would be the first initiative under the partnership, combining the resources of NDDC and RHI to provide better healthcare services to Nigerians.

Ogbuku said: “We in NDDC have seen the laudable projects of the Renewed Hope Initiative and we thought there was a need for us to also identify with all the programmes and engagements of the initiative.

“We met with Her Excellency and decided to forge a partnership and this partnership is going to be in various areas, ranging from medical to education.”“In the next set of our medical outreach, there is going to be a partnership between RHI and NDDC.”

The NDDC boss explained that the Youth Internship Scheme of the commission, which targets job creation, empowerment for women and the distribution of educational tools, would be done through the partnership with RHI.
“Our team and the team of RHI are going to be meeting very soon to also expand most of these areas of collaboration,” he added.

The strategic partnership, Ogbuku said, would better the lives of women and youths in the Niger Delta region and expand the scope of development and empowerment in the area.
