Despite the excitement that greeted the decision to carry out forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission , a group, Global Forum For Accountability and Transparency, Nigeria, has dismissed the exercise as a mere ruse designed to curry the approval of the Federal Government.
It insisted that the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs as presently constituted does not have the strong will to midwife genuine audit of the activities of the Commission since it was created. According to the group, most elections in Nigeria were sponsored with NDDC funds and those behind the diversion of the funds are highly connected in government and will manipulate the purported forensic audit.
It alleged further that, “the stealing in the NDDC is exacerbating under the watch of Akpabio therefore the claim by the Minister and his cohorts that the agitation is as a result of the forensic audit only flies in the face. “On the other hand we did not see where the advertisements was made for selecting the auditing firm as there was no thorough selection process. As the saying goes he who pays the piper dictates the tune is what we are seeing”.
