I didn’t get NDDC contracts, says Manager
Senator James Manager, representing Delta South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has denied benefitting from contracts of the Niger Delta Development Commission during and after his chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs.
Gbajabiamila had given Akpabio 48- hour ultimatum to name lawmakers that allegedly got NDDC contracts. However, Manager, in statement on Monday, threatened legal action against the Commission’s Executive Director Projects for defamation.Manager said: “I sincerely wish to react as follows: That my tenure as chairman of Niger Delta Committee in the Senate effectively ended in 2015.
“That NDDC never awarded any contract to any company owned by me. That I do not know of any company owned by me, that has ever gone into bidding for government jobs anywhere in the world. .”
