Niger Delta Development Commission honors pioneer OMPADEC Chairman

The leadership of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has paid a condolence visit to the family of Chief Albert Horsfall, the pioneer Chairman of the Oil Mineral Producing Areas Development Commission (OMPADEC).

NDDC Governing Board Chairman Chiedu Ebie and Managing Director Dr. Samuel Ogbuku visited Horsfall’s residence in Lagos to honor his legacy. They described him as a distinguished figure who made significant contributions to the development of the Niger Delta region and the nation.

Officials noted that Horsfall played a critical role in establishing the foundation for institutional intervention in oil-producing communities. Before his leadership at OMPADEC, Horsfall served in Nigeria’s intelligence and security services as a pioneer member of the Nigeria Security Organisation (NSO).
