📄 Abstract
The study examined the nexus between the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and management of infrastructural development in the oil producing areas of Nigeria, between 2009 and 2017. The documentary and survey methods were used to generate the relevant data. Data analysis was presented using content analysis and tables. The result of the analysis indicates that award of contracts in violation of the extant rules undermined the development of infrastructure in the oil producing areas of Nigeria between 2009 and 2017. It also demonstrates that the projects of the Niger Delta Development Commission failed to alleviate the incidence of inadequate infrastructure in the oil producing areas of Nigeria within the study period. Among others, the study recommended de-concentration of power to local agencies through direct state interventions to enhance the interaction between the communities and the Nigerian State
