NDDC 2019 budget was never implemented ― Odili vanguardnews
THE Niger Delta Development Commission has lamented that its 2019 budget was never implemented because its approval by the National Assembly came only six weeks before its expiration.
Odili further blamed NASS for NDDC’s failure, under current Interim Management Committee , to defray about N2trillion debt the commission owes majorly road contractors under the emergency repairs era.He said: “NASS has instructed us not to pay for road projects and most of the contractual obligations we owe to our contractors who are complaining are those who have done majorly road projects.
“The Commission has a debt portfolio of about N2 trillion. A large percentage of the N2 trillion has to do with emergency projects. When the budget doesn’t come on time as at when due, some managements have taken to this line of action to solve an emergency.
