Concerned by the high rate of corruption and lack of accountability among public office holders in Africa, the International Human Rights Protection Service (IHRPS) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting government policies and programs that aim to reduce poverty, promote transparency, and ensure the prudent management of public funds.
Special Envoy to West Africa for the IHRPS, Ambassador Charles Omini, made this known during a one-day working visit to the headquarters of the Niger Delta Basin Development Authority (NDBDA) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Ambassador Omini, who was warmly received by the Managing Director/CEO of NDBDA, Dr. Prince Ebitimi Amgbare, expressed satisfaction with the efforts of the IHRPS in safeguarding the rights and privileges of people globally. He commended Dr. Amgbare for his administration’s responsible use of public funds and commitment to the development and well-being of the people of Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta States.
He particularly praised the “Safe Waterways and Sanitation Programme” initiated by Dr. Amgbare, describing it as a vital step toward providing clean water and a safer environment for the region’s residents.
According to Amb. Omini, “The IHRPS is actively monitoring the implementation and management of public funds at all levels across the West African sub-region. Corruption is the highest form of human rights abuse, and we will continue to hold leaders accountable.”
In his remarks, Dr. Amgbare thanked the Special Envoy for the unscheduled visit and assured him of the Authority’s readiness to do more. He reiterated his administration’s commitment to delivering clean water and a healthier environment for the people of the region.
