The Niger Delta Youth Vanguard, has called on the Federal Government to swear in already screened board for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) that was screened and confirmed by the Senate.
In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Ibinabo John, the group noted that constituting a new board when a Senate screened board already exists was unnecessary and not in the interest of the agency or the region.
“How can they constitute a new board when there’s already a board that was screened and passed by the Senate in 2019? This is unfair and unjust. We want that board to be sworn in because it’s what the region want,” said John. He noted: “These people are conniving among one another to get another board passed for selfish reasons. This move on their part will not augur well as it will cause unrest in the region.
