‘Imbalance’: Court strikes out suit challenging NDDCOnline appointments by MBuhari | TheCable
Bolanle OlabimtanA lawsuit against President Muhammadu Buhari challenging alleged imbalance in the nominations to the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission has been struck out by a federal high court in Abuja.
According to Ekwo, section 2 of the NDDC Act 2000 stipulates that only corporate persons — not private parties like the plaintiff — may file lawsuits over any violations of NDDC-related laws. The plaintiff also prayed for another order compelling Buhari to appoint an Itsekiri indigene from an oil-producing area of Delta state as the managing director of the NDDC.
