“We, therefore, call for the immediate dissolution of the Interim Committee and inauguration of an authentic and substantive Board for the Niger Delta Development Commission.”
Niger Delta agitators has expressed support over the decision by the National Assembly to probe Niger Delta Development Commission, over alleged misuse of N40 meant to develop the oil rich Niger Delta region.
Alleging that it has mismanaged the fortunes of the agency, the group supported the forensic audit of the Commission’s account. The statement read: “We give our total support to the National Assembly for the planned probe of the NDDC’s Interim Management Committee for its alleged illegal and unapproved expenditure of a whopping sum of N40 billion within a period of just three months. As far as we are concerned, this probe is completely different from the forensic audit of the Commission for the past 19 years of its existence.
“The forensic audit of the NDDC will be well applauded if it is allowed to be independently carried not minding whose ox is gored.
