NDDC Invites Buhari to Inaugurate N24bn Bayelsa Project
In a strategic move to divert attention from the negative publicity its probe by the National Assembly has generated in recent weeks, the Niger Delta Development Commission has invited President Muhammadu Buhari to inaugurate the 29-kilometre Ogbia-Nembe Road in Bayelsa State built in conjunction with the Shell Petroleum Development Company at the cost of N24 billion.
He explained that the delay in the remittance of the fees was caused by the sudden death of Chief Ibanga Etang, the then acting Executive Director, Finance and Administration of the commission in May. “To conquer the swampy terrain, the construction involved digging out four metres of clay soil and sand filling it to provide a base for the road.
On the list of NDDC contracts handled by members of the National Assembly, Odili said the one submitted by Akpabio was not compiled by the minister but came from the files in the commission. Odili said: “The Interim Management Committee of the commission stands by the list, which came from files already in the possession of the forensic auditors. It is not an Akpabio’s list but the NDDC’s list. The list is part of the volume of 8,000 documents already handed over to the forensic auditors.”
