In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/111/2023, Falana on behalf of the plaintiffs – Incorporated Trustees of Juryman, and Myson Nejo – asked the court to declare that the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs lacks the powers to supervise the affairs of the NDDC.
Those being sued are the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Umana Umana; the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Attorney-General of the Federation. The four issues put before the court for determination by Falana include “Whether upon a calm consideration and proper construction of Sections 7, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 23 of the Niger Delta Development Commission Act 2000, the 1st defendant can unilaterally exercise a supervisory role over the NDDC.”
