The revelations of fraudulent payments and financial recklessness at the National Assembly investigations and public hearings into the management of the NDDC under the IMC has exposed the weak governance structures in place, including that of the Niger Delta Development Advisory Committee, which is made up of the governors of the nine constituent states of the NDDC.
Under their watch since the Committee was established, the IMC has spent billions of naira illegally in fraudulent payments and reckless spending. The governors are a shame to the people of the Niger Delta in that they failed to curtail the excesses of the IMC, and even promoted it at a time that perceptive Niger Delta groups were raising issues of corruption and mismanagement at the NDDC.
We warned in March when the constitution of the Advisory Committee was announced, that Akpabio was only recruiting his friends to validate his fraudulent schemes by putting a veneer of endorsement on the actions of the IMC.
We applaud the Senate for demanding that the legal management and governance institutions of the NDDC, including its Governing Board, be inaugurated immediately, while the IMC is disbanded. The recommendation that the NDDC be moved back to the Presidency is heartwarming.
