    Senate-Approved NDDC Internship Program Starts With Monthly N50,000 Stipend

    The Niger Delta Development Commission has begun the payment of N50,000 monthly stipends to 10,000 indigenous youths from the Niger Delta under its Youths Internship Scheme.

    The Director of Corporate Affairs at the NDDC, Mrs Seledi-Thompson-Wakama, disclosed this to journalists in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, on Thursday.

    She explained that the beneficiaries would undergo practical, hands-on training across the various organisations for 12 months to develop critical skills.

    NAN reports that during the inauguration of the scheme on July 31, 2024, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, announced the Federal Government’s approval of a N50,000 monthly stipend for the trainees.

    According to Thompson-Wakama, the commission has successfully completed the selection process and has begun placing trainees in organisations to gain practical experience.

    “Consequently, with the completion of these phases, the payment of the monthly stipends has also commenced,” she announced.

    She revealed that the 10,000 beneficiaries were transparently selected from over 3.2 million youths who registered for the empowerment programme.

    “This unprecedented response highlights the immense potential and aspirations of our youths to improve themselves.

    “NDDC remains steadfast in ensuring this life-changing opportunity reaches the most deserving candidates, creating a lasting impact and paving the way for a brighter future,” she stated.

    Thompson-Wakama explained that the scheme had enabled the commission to collate essential data, including the qualifications, skills, interests, needs, and employment status of the youths in the region.

    The data, she explained, would guide the commission in designing programmes tailored to address the unique challenges faced by young people.

    She disclosed that the NDDC partnered with KPMG, a global audit and consultancy firm, to enhance the commission’s corporate governance framework.

    “KPMG has produced a Governance Advisory Report that will serve as a tool to support the commission’s transition from a transaction-based to a transformation-focussed policy,” Thompson-Wakama added.

    The director commended the youths for their patience and cooperation during the selection process for the scheme.
