Already, the House of Representatives has halted the inauguration of the board and management of the commission screened and cleared by the Senate on Wednesday.
The new helmsman of the commission was warming up for inauguration by the supervising minister of Niger Delta Development, Engr Abubakar Momoh, before the House moved against the action. Section 2a partly states that the board and management of NDDC would “be appointed by the President and Commander-in-Chief-of the Armed Forces, subject to the confirmation of the Senate in consultation with the House of Representatives.”
In stopping the inauguration of the new NDDC team, the House insisted that the nominees must appear before its committee on NDDC for screening and eventual confirmation at the plenary. The source said the House was duly consulted in line with the dictates of the Act, with the invitation extended to Ibori-Suenu.
