Members of the Nigerian House of Representatives have unearthed how the Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission mismanaged N81.5bn between February and May 2020.Recall that the 2020 budget defence of the Niger Delta Development Commission ended abruptly at the Senate on Tuesday as its Interim Management Committee failed to account for a shortfall of N143bn in its 2019 budget.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Tunji-Ojo said the investigative hearing was not targeted at witch-hunting anyone, but rather as part of patriotic services of the lawmakers to get to the root of some illness bedeviling the NDDC, which was established 20 years ago. The lawmaker gave the breakdown of the spendings at the NDDC to include N1.3bn for community relations; N122.9m for condolences; N83m for online media consultancy; N31.4bn for COVlD—19 palliative and N486m as DTA in the period of four months.
