The House of Representatives has begun an investigation into the payment of mobilisation fees totalling N70.

495bn made by the Niger Delta Development Commission to 1,773 contractors, who did not report to sites.

The report by the OAuGF alleged that 90 per cent of the contractors collected the mandatory mobilisation fees without reporting to site between 2011 and 2012, for contracts that should have been completed within six months. Oke said, “What the auditor-general did was to invoke Section 4 of the Audit Act to discover the anomalies in the NDDC. The main issue is whether the Interim Management Committee has rendered the accounts up to 2018. We stopped at 2018 due to the coronavirus pandemic. But clearly, there are issues here and there.”

The House Committee on NDDC will on Wednesday and Thursday grill top officials of the commission at the investigative hearing.
