He told KELVIN EBIRI that apart from pursuing selfish, anti-people policies, the IMC is equally embarking on a contract award spree, even when the contracts have no social impact on the people of the Niger Delta.
However, from everything surrounding the contract award, it appears there was an attempt to cover up what the media, in consonance with civil societies have successfully exposed- fraud. As we speak now, even the Director General, Nigeria Centre for Diseases Control , Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, has said that the instruction they have given to suppliers to supply medical kits have not been attested to.
Why is NDDC still embroiled in contract scandals just when the much-talked forensic audit is about to begin? The IMC, as we all know, is not representative of the nine oil-producing states that are under the NDDC. How would a Rivers State man know what is the need of the Ondo people? How will a Rivers State man know what the people in Imo State need in terms of needs assessment? This makes the IMC non-representative, and this is not what democracy is all about. It even defeats the whole idea behind the setting up of the NDDC.
