A former deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Timi Frank, has called on the new management board of the Niger Delta Development Commission to prioritise the interest and development of the region above other things.
Frank, also Ambassador to the United Liberation Movement for West Papua , in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other-Related Offences Commission to urgently investigate the tenures of Akwa and Audu-Ohwavborua over alleged contract deals.
He, however, reminded the board that the NDDC should not be construed as an appendage of the APC but a special purpose vehicle meant to ameliorate the sufferings of the people due to long years of neglect and environmental degradation brought about by the activities of oil exploration, production and spillage.
