The Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission on Wednesday disclosed how the agency awarded spurious contracts in the past three years to the tune of over N1tn without bei

ng backed by the commission’s budget.

Ojougboh described some of the contracts awarded by the commission between 2016 and 2019 as not only spurious, but criminal, insisting that most of the awards were not backed by budget, had no bills of engineering measurement or drawings. Ojougboh noted that the NDDC would have been grounded, killed and buried if the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , had not ordered a forensic audit of the commission.

“It is now common knowledge that some of the awards were not only spurious, but criminal as records available to us showed that most of the awards were not backed by budget, had no bills of engineering measurement or drawings and were just open cheques for contractors and their collaborators to fill in at the nearest banks.“In 2018, a total 1,057 emergency contracts valued at N162.69bn; and just seven months of 2019, a total of 1,921 emergency contracts valued at N1.07tn were awarded.

Nigeria have enough money to be beautiful like U.S, UK and France but our leaders keep looting it.

Please blow more fire🚨🚨🚨

N1tn fraudulent contracts? In a country where most citizens live below poverty line!! Gather 5,000 small business owners and give them grants from this money and see the effect it will have in many families. This shouldn't be allowed to slide.

Will this not also be swept under the rug? It is not enough for the forensic audit to reveal this; let the perpetrators be made to face the law. The government should recover the fund and put it to good use.

Who listens to Dr Cairo ojugbo anyway

We are tired of this talking point. Release the names of the contractors

Abeg make dem sell the country make everybody collect their share

To who?

Carry the whole country and throw away abeg
