“PIND and NDPI are proud of the positive impact we have made in facilitating peacebuilding and economic development in the Niger Delta over the past decade,” said Mamadou Beye, NDPI Board of Directors Chairman. “This was accomplished through our private and public sector partnerships, the collective knowledge, expertise, and collaboration of our partners, donors, communities, and the citizens of the Niger Delta.”
“We plan to remain focused and sustain the momentum in the coming years through capacity building and innovation. We thank you for being a part of bringing peace and prosperity to the Niger Delta region and look forward to a more sustained partnership in the years ahead,” said Nadeem Anwar, NDPI Executive Director.
“Throughout this annual report, we will introduce program participants with stories that reflect resilience in the face of ten years of hard work and one pandemic year of uncertainty. Because of you and the work we are doing together; conflicts are being mitigated; people are being moved out of poverty; and hope is rising for a better tomorrow. Thank you for the selfless collaborations, engagements, and partnerships that have given the people of the Niger Delta renewed hope,” said PIND Executive Director Dr. Dara Akala.
