This followed the adoption of an urgent motion of public importance by Unyime Idem (PDP-Akwa-Ibom) on the floor of the House...
to put on hold the release of N15 billion counterpart funding of humanitarian intervention by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
In his motion, Mr Idem said the Ministry of Niger Delta was mandated to attend to intervention and humanitarian needs of the Niger Delta region of the country and promote the physical development of the Niger Delta region. He said, part of the fund available for use by the commission was money recovered on its behalf by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
He said the federal government sent a special request mandating the Ministry of Niger Delta to jointly finance an intervention and humanitarian programme of sums running into several billions of Naira.This, according to him, is by using the money recovered by the EFCC without budgetary provision, adding that the NDDC budget estimates for 2021, 2022 and 2023 were before the House for legislative approval.
