N'Delta groups declare 'Operation show constituency projects'

Niger Delta youths from 15 youth organizations across the nine states of the region have called on their representatives in the National Assembly to account for funds appropriated for constituency projects.

They said, “Investigation by NDPDA fact-finding team showed that instead of expending the money on projects that will better the lives of people in their constituencies, the bulk of it goes into equipping the lawmakers’ political war chests.”“This often happens in order to remain relevant in their various constituencies. At times, instead of whole communities benefitting, only loyalists of lawmakers enjoy part of the funds.

“We urge all NASS members from Niger Delta Region to go back to their constituencies to track projects they have achieved and also the projects that are not yet achieved in this OSYP.” NDPDA’s President and Secretary, Comrades Kelvin Ebi Thomas and Jude Taunu, said.
