Fresh facts have emerged as to why the presidency is delaying the reconstitution of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Findings
In his response to the June 2021 ultimatum by the Tompolo-led group, Akpabio had pleaded for time to inaugurate a new board in July.
Others screened and confirmed by the Senate in 2019 were Maxwell Oko from Bayelsa State, as executive director, Finance and Administration, and Otobong Edem, as executive director, Projects. It was gathered that Lawan and Omo-Agege are vehement in their advice to the presidency that any attempt to appoint another board would be tantamount to ridicule and embarrassment of the National Assembly.
The Ijaw group in Delta State is also craving to upstage Obudu to produce the chairman in the envisaged new board while the Urhobo and other stakeholders are insisting on Bernard Okumagba as managing director to represent Delta State in the management of the commission.
