Alarm has been raised by a Civil Society Organization, the Act for Positive Transformation Initiative , over the alleged move by the Interim Management Committee , of the Niger Delta Development Commission , to cover up an allegation of N40bn contract scam, which the National Assembly is currently investigating.
But the group, in its statement on Monday, said, rather than preparing to defend itself on the said allegation, It averred that, “Some line items on the virement list shamefully expose the frantic move of the commission to reverse the illegal acts that will certainly send many actors to jail”. “In the same vein, the National Assembly approved N37 million for ‘MD/CEO Football Competition’, the IMC is seeking virement for diversion of over N100,000,000 via same competition.
“Provisions for Annual Economic Summit was moved from N30 Million to N250 Million and Provisions for Project Inspection and Commissioning moved from N70 Million to N250 Million.The group expressed great concern, that, at a time when the country was struggling hard to break even in income, the Commission could engrave itself with what it described as “mindless looting”.
