                      By Mike Cerutti O “ A visionary leader does not just manage today’s problems. He plants seeds that will become forests for generations yet unborn.”   On his 51st birthday, those words mirror the life and leadership of Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission.

One clear example of his reform is the Project HOPE initiative. For the first time, NDDC crea...
