Akpabio: Senate asked to dissolve NDDC Interim Management Committee - Daily Post Nigeria

The Ijaw Youth Council, IYC Worldwide, on Monday, called on the Senate to immediately dissolve the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC “illegal 3-man interim committee” hurriedly set up by the Minister of the Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Godswill Akpabio after the Senate started the process of confirming sixteen nominees sent to it by President Muhammadu Buhari for confirmation pursuant to the provisions of the NDDC establishment Act.

“If our demands are not met within a reasonable time, we will have no other option than to resort to mass action across the Niger Delta region. The IYC said the action by Godswill Akpabio is “illegal” stressing that,” It’s an aberration and has no foundation under the NDDC Act. “So, the simple question we are asking is this. If you feel that Dr. Joy as Interim Management Committee members would not interfere with the the forensic audit? What makes you think that Dr. Joy as a member of the substantive board will interfere with the audit? It is illogical.

” A special presidential Committee was set up to probe the office of the National Security Adviser. In all these instances, the NNPC or the NSA office were not declared vacant or an interim management committee was not set up to manage those offices. “The NDDC has become a patronage agency by those in power. The NDDC was not created to service the political interests of a few people to the detriment of the generality of the Niger Deltans.
