The Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission has accused a senator of creating problems for it with his insistence on injecting N150 billion into the commission’s budget.
In a statement, NDDC’s Acting Executive Director of Projects, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh hailed the lawmakers for raising the issue, noting that there is no 2019 capital budget for NDDC. “So the bureaucracy went back to adjust the budget to accommodate the chairman’s input but when the bureaucracy came back, he said; ‘No, it’s not N15 billion we agreed it is N150billion.
“They didn’t follow due process for the award of all these contracts, the Bureau of Public Procurement was not in the know. So, they now progressed from 2017 to 2019; and that is the reason the IMC was sent here to look into these issues critically and address them.”
