The Niger Delta Development Commission approved N51.
6m for its acting Managing Director, Prof Daniel Pondei, for the purpose of hotel accommodation, security and monitoring of projects during the lockdown in April 2020,The information is contained in the Treasury Single Account schedule of the NDDC with reference number TSA/REC/20/0-1 dated March 30, 2020 and addressed to the Branch Controller, Central Bank of Nigeria, Port Harcourt branch.
He said, “That matter is being misconstrued. Managing directors usually get imprest and the imprest is not even put together by the MD but the admin department and it is done every month. It covers the office of the MD and a wide spectrum. “It is retired at the end of the month. The issue here is that there is a forensic audit in place and people don’t want this forensic audit to succeed and they are doing everything to discredit those superintending the forensic audit. That is what is playing out.
“Although there was a lockdown in about three states, some states relaxed theirs and movement was unimpeded. The MD’s members of staff were visiting sites to verify projects.”All rights reserved.
