The road. which links Ogbia community to Nembe in Bayelsa State, was built by NDDC and Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)
The Niger Delta Development Commission has invited President Muhammadu Buhari to commission a 29-kilometre road linking Ogbia community to Nembe in Bayelsa State.
“The road has cut the journey time to Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, from three hours to one and a half hours.” This informed Mr Buhari’s decision to order a forensic audit into the finances of the agency since its inception. In Tuesday’s statement, Mr Odili said scholars of the Commission who are facing hardships abroad because of the non-remittance of their fees and stipends would be paid by the end of the week, following the order of President Buhari.
On the list of NDDC contracts handled by members of the National Assembly, Mr Odili said the one submitted by Mr Akpabio was not compiled by the minister but came from files in the Commission. The official said prominent indigenes of the Niger Delta whose names were on the list should not panic as the Commission knew that people used the names of prominent persons in the region to secure contracts, adding that the ongoing forensic audit would unearth those behind the contracts.
