N11.5b smuggled into NDDC’s proposed 2020 budget, says IMC
THE Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission on Sunday alleged that N11.5bn contracts were smuggled into the agency’s budget.
The IMC has been at loggerheads with the National Assembly over the probe of alleged financial reckless and maladministration in the NDDC. He said: “This year alone, they put N11.5billion in the budget for the supply of desks and chairs to schools in the Niger Delta region. Where are the schools that you are going to put N11.5 billion worth of chairs and desks in the region?” He however did not state the budget in question since that of 2020 is yet to be passed by the National Assembly.
“We will visit all the locations because no payments will be made until our engineers, quantity surveyors and the Project Monitoring and Supervision have approved.”Ojougboh also reassured that the 29-kilometre Ogbia-Nembe Road with spurs linking 14 communities in Bayelsa State would soon be inaugurated.
It reads in part: “The commission has already forwarded some documents to you in assisting with your investigations.“In addition to the documents given to your team, I hereby forward the attached documents to you.
