The ICPC provides guidance to NDDC employees on anti-corruption legislation.

The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) has advised Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) staff to stay informed about anti-graft laws to avoid legal violations. Mrs. Ekere Usiere, ICPC Zonal Commissioner for Rivers and Bayelsa states, emphasized the importance of understanding relevant statutes during a Sensitization Exercise organized by NDDC in Port Harcourt. The exercise, sponsored by NDDC's Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit, focused on "Understanding the Offences and Penalties Under the ICPC Act 2000." Usiere commended NDDC for its role in addressing socio-economic challenges in the Niger Delta and stressed the need for periodic sensitization to combat corruption.

NDDC's Managing Director, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, highlighted the commitment to addressing corrupt practices and promoting transparency in public service. The sensitization exercise is part of NDDC's efforts to enhance service delivery. Ogbuku, represented by Mr. Patrick Obayelu, Director II, Administration and Human Resources, urged staff to uphold honesty and transparency. In a keynote presentation, Dr. Agada Akogwu, Head of Legal Department at ICPC in Rivers State, recommended strengthening NDDC's Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit. He emphasized the unit's role as the conscience of the commission, proposing continuous study of corruption-prone processes and the development of a code of ethics for staff.
