Nigerian Navy Takes Over New Niger Delta Development Commission Security Projects In Bayelsa
On Friday, 24 October 2025, the Nigerian Navy officially took over newly completed security facilities constructed by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in Ayakoro, Bayelsa State. The projects, strategically located along the Nun River, are aimed at enhancing maritime security and promoting economic activities in the Niger Delta. Representing the Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Noel Madugu described the handover as a commendable collaboration between the NDDC and the Nigerian Navy.
Rear Admiral Madugu noted that Ayakoro’s location presents both economic opportunities and security challenges such as piracy and oil theft. He assured that the Navy would effectively utilize the new facilities to strengthen security operations and safeguard lives and property, while urging the host community to support ongoing efforts through intelligence sharing.
In a related development, Rear Admiral Madugu also commissioned newly completed facilities at the Central Naval Command Headquarters, including a renovated Officers’ Mess, a modern gymnasium, and an upgraded conference room. He commended NDDC Managing Director, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, for his commitment and called for continued collaboration to further boost the Navy’s operational efficiency in the Niger Delta region.
