GOV UDUAGHAN CRAVES CAPACITY BUILDING AS DELTA, UNDP SIGN PACT GOVERNOR EMMANUEL UDUAGHAN (LEFT) WITH MR. TURKAN SALEH, COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVE, UNDP DURING THE SIGNING OF THE MOU. DELTA State has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to promote capacity building and fast-track development of the state. Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan signed on behalf of the state government while the Country Director of UNDP, Mr. Turkan Saleh, signed on behalf of his organisation. At the ceremony, the governor solicited the assistance of UNDP in promoting capacity building to enhance effective management of technological changes. He said: "The issue of capacity which is your second programme is important, we require capacity to deal with the current pace on ground in the state. The capacity to manage this programme has not improved at the same pace the funding has increased. The issue of management is now technologically based and needs capacity building to follow the trend and develop the state." Uduaghan pledged the commitment of the state government to the seventh country programme of UNDP for economic development and promised to play its role and be involved in the counterpart funding to promote his administration's three-point agenda. He called on the organisation to help the state strengthen private-public partnership, adding that his administration is keen at achieving success since it would enhance economic growth and development in the state. The governor noted that the state has taken the issue of environmental protection very important as it will promote healthy living and means of livelihood in the post-amnesty era. He stressed that what the state required is assistance from developed countries to rejuvenate its environment that has been polluted as a result of the Niger-Delta crisis. Uduaghan noted that the government cannot do it alone but had just got the Federal Government's approval and will pay its counterpart fund of $1 million to participate in the UNDP programme.    Recent Events WHEN CHIEF GODSWILL OBIELUM, NDOKWA NATION HOSTED AND ENDORSED GOVERNOR EMMANUEL UDUAGHAN FOR 2011, AT THE KWALE TOWNSHIP STADIUM, ON SATURDAY, JULY 3, 2010.
