The 2015 Niger Delta Development Forum (NDDF) in Nigeria was a watershed moment in the Niger Delta. With the recent elections in Nigeria, there were shifts in leadership at many levels, including in at least five of the nine Niger Delta states. This offered a unique opportunity for this year’s Forum to frame and influence the discourse, priorities and flagship initiatives in the region for the next four years – building synergy of effort around government and private sector investments as well as citizens priorities as we collectively moved to explore the imperatives of inclusive economic growth and economic diversification in the Niger Delta. By gathering key decision makers from the public and private sphere, as well participants across infrastructure planning, finance and development, this NDDF Asaba aimed to reach balanced and practical insight into the opportunities and solutions. The theme for this year’s NDDF in Asaba, Delta state was “Collaborative efforts for stimulating investments and inclusive economic growth in the Niger Delta.”
