Abstract
This article evaluated the performance of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), an intervention agency designed to implement infrastructure development projects in the Niger Delta area, with a focus on the impact of the Commission’s rural electrification intervention programs on the socio-economic circumstances of rural communities in Akwa Ibom State, more than two decades after it was created. The Stakeholders Theory of Freeman, which emphasises the need to maximise the interest of all parties involved, especially the beneficiaries, was used to explain this activity. Both primary and secondary sources were employed to gather pertinent data. The findings demonstrated that the NDDC has not been able to considerably enhance the socio-economic status of rural inhabitants via its assistance in implementing rural power projects in rural areas. Given these findings, it was recommended, among other things, that the NDDC update the present management and administrative structure to include fresh ideas into the management and operation of the Commission’s activities.
