The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday passed the sum of N1.911 trillion 2024 budget for the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio battling with absurdities by Senators who made contributions to the general principles of the motion.
The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Ekpenyong Asuquo, representing Cross River South Senatorial District, submitted its report less than 12 hours after the public hearing on the budget, where the NDDC Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, appeared for the defence of the budget.
He cautioned that NDDC is a child of necessity and must use the money appropriated to serve the interest of the people, adding that NDDC’s budget is more than that of two States put together, yet the impact has not been felt. “NDDC is a child of necessity and the money must be used in the interest of the people, even as its budget is more than two States and we have not seen much.
