The Special Adviser to the Rivers State Governor on Niger Delta Development Commission Matters, Erastus Awortu, has dismissed insinuations that his principal is planning to control the commission.
Awortu was reacting to claims in the social media that Governor Nyesom Wike went to court to compel the commission to seek the state government’s consent before executing projects.
But speaking with our correspondent on Saturday, Awortu said such claims were untrue, noting that the court judgment would eliminate duplication of projects and make the commission work better in the state. “Of course, you know the state government may have earmarked a particular piece of land for a particular project or could have in a particular year say we are going to supply chairs in this particular school.
The governor’s aide further said the judgment, aside making the state government and the NDDC work in synergy, would outlive the incumbent administration in the state.
