The probe into alleged financial impropriety in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) advanced yesterday, throwing up new twists.
It started with the House of Representatives issuing the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, 48-hour ultimatum to publish names of lawmakers he accused of taking up contracts at the NDDC.
Akpabio had, while appearing before the House committee investigating suspected financial impropriety at the NDDC on Monday, claimed that 60 per cent of contracts in the commission were awarded to lawmakers. He recalled that ahead of the probe, the Chairman of the Committee on NDDC, Olubumi Tunji-Ojo , was accused of having contracts without documents to back it up, and that Tunji-Ojo stepped aside as a result of the allegation.
