NDDC scandal: National Assembly asked to ban further procurements at agency
The communications officer of the group, Peace Agbo, made the demand in a statement on Monday.
Agbo said anyone who opposes corruption would cringe at the fact that billions of dollars have been “swooped in a reckless spending spree” without impact on the region.Agbo regretted the discovery of N3.175billion spent by Interim Management Committee as COVIID-19 palliatives; the N808.9million imprest she said was unknown to the law;“We call on the National Assembly to immediately suspend all awards of contracts and procurement in the NDDC.
“A procedural method should be initiated for approval and spending strictly followed by detailed evidential receipts of such spending. This initiative will promote the use of an approved annual budget as the principal tool and authorization for all its expenditures.” Agbo added that from the various expenditures on projects unrelated to the mandate of the NDDC, the commission disregarded its budget.
