Following the composition of the substantive board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, by the Federal Government, a coalition of

socio-political groups in Akwa Ibom State, under the aegis of Self Employed Association Of Progressives , has alleged marginalisation in the appointment of Akwa Ibomites into the board.

In a statement signed by the group’s state Coordinator, Ekpuk Jumbo; Deputy State Coordinator, Uyo Senatorial District, Mr Goddy Unyah; Deputy State Coordinator, Eket Senatorial District, Mr Ben Ukutt; and General Secretary, Pst Joe Ita, it insisted that the appointment in the board, as presently constituted, is in contrary to extant provisions of the Act establishing the commission in 2000.

It added that it would start with member states with the composition of the highest quantum of oil, which would rotate among them based on the production order.
