NDDC: Reps summons Buhari minister, Akpabio over alleged spending of N40bn in two months
The lawmakers said the fund was allegedly spent without due regard to the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
Moving the motion earlier, Apkatason said that the NDDC was established by Act No. 6 of 2000 as an interventionist agency with the clear mandate. Akpatason said the rapid spread of the novel COVID-19 and the devastating impact on all aspects of livelihood and national economy had occasioned a sharp decline in revenue and massive cuts in budgetary estimates especially since the past month;
Akpatason said there was a compelling need to rise, as patriots, for the people of the region in the wake of the inevitable impact of COVID-19. “I am alarmed by claims that the commission had spent over N40 billion in a space of two months without corresponding effect on the region. The lawmaker said the trend, if not arrested would worsen an already pathetic situation in the Niger Delta region post-COVID-19.
