writes on the expectations from the newly appointed NDDC chairman, Lauretta Onochie, by the people of Niger Delta as she assumes office this week.
Her appointment came almost a year after the release of a report of a forensic investigation ordered by the President on widespread corruption and sundry contract scam that rocked the commission till 2021. Among those who have hailed the President for her appointment are Senator Stella Oduah who thanked Buhari “On behalf of Nigerian women for giving” oil producing states “a woman who is capable”.
“We believe with this appointment all maladministration, indiscriminate and misuse of allocation of the commission shall be a thing of the past going by Onochie’s pedigree. Unlike her last nomination as INEC National Commissioner that generated political ruckus at the Senate, she was confirmed by the Senate just few weeks after Buhari’s letter to the Senate was read on the floor of the Senate.
