The Green Walkers, a prominent socio-political and developmental advocacy group in the Niger Delta, have joined the chorus of accolades from across the country in celebrating the 50th birthday of Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

In a goodwill message released to the press and signed by its President, Engr. Alabo Martins, the group paid glowing tribute to Dr. Ogbuku, lauding his sterling qualities as a leader, statesman, and committed servant of the people. They described him as a “symbol of integrity, service, and visionary leadership,” whose track record in public service has brought renewed hope to the people of the Niger Delta region.

The group emphasized that Dr. Ogbuku’s five-decade journey has been marked by a rare blend of resilience, humility, and courage, traits which they say have not only shaped his personal and professional life but have also deeply impacted the lives of many across the region.

“At 50, Dr. Samuel Ogbuku stands tall as a beacon of ethical leadership and dedication to service,” the statement read. “Under his watch, the NDDC has witnessed a revitalized approach to development, marked by transparency, strategic planning, and a renewed focus on the welfare of Niger Delta communities.”

The Green Walkers highlighted Dr. Ogbuku’s tenure at the helm of the NDDC as one defined by pragmatism and a results-oriented approach. According to the group, his leadership has ushered in an era of improved project execution, community engagement, and empowerment initiatives that are beginning to bridge long-standing developmental gaps in the oil-rich region.

“Dr. Ogbuku has shown that transformational leadership is possible in the public sector,” the statement continued. “His ability to steer the NDDC through complex political and economic landscapes while keeping the interest of the people at heart demonstrates his rare statesmanship.”

The group further described Dr. Ogbuku as “a man of destiny” whose life journey embodies selfless service, patriotism, and a steadfast commitment to the greater good. They acknowledged his efforts in fostering peace, infrastructural development, and youth empowerment across the Niger Delta.

As part of their birthday wishes, the Green Walkers offered heartfelt prayers for continued divine guidance, robust health, and long life for the celebrant. “We pray that Almighty God, who has brought you this far, will continue to bless you with wisdom, strength, and prosperity to carry on your noble work for the benefit of our people,” the message stated.

The Green Walkers urged Dr. Ogbuku to view this milestone not merely as a personal achievement but as a renewed call to even greater service. “As you celebrate this golden jubilee, may your path continue to shine brighter. Let this 50th birthday serve as a springboard for deeper impact and broader influence in national development,” the group noted.
