The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, took swipes on the Niger Delta Development Commission , describing it as a “corrupt” agency that has been engaging in “illegal and unauthorized spending”, to the tune of “billions of naira”.
Dr. Ojougboh was quoted in the said interview as accusing the lawmakers of being responsible for the delay in the passage of the NDDC budget, vandalization and rape of the Commission’s 2019 budget and working against the ongoing forensic audit instituted by the Presidency recently; amongst other things.
“It took the intervention of the House, following a motion moved by Rep. Benjamin O. Kalu on November 26, 2019, to compel the Commission to present its 2019 budget”, the House explained. The lower legislative House also stated that, “the negligence and/or deliberate mischief of the Commission has also frustrated all efforts by the National Assembly to expeditiously approve the Commission’s 2020 budget”, adding that, “till date, the Commission has refused to render an account of their 2019 budget expenditures to Nigerians”.
On the forensic audit instituted by the Presidency, the House waved Ojougboh’s comment as “untrue” and “misleading”, saying, it has always expressed total support for the exercise, as approved by President Muhammad Buhari.
