The cumulative sum of N81.5bn was said to have left the account of the NDDC without due process and for no implementation of any known project since the IMC resumed work.
The House of Representatives had on the 5th May 2020 deliberated on a motion on the need to investigate the alleged financial malfeasance and other activities in the NDDC. “The visionary eyes of forerunners in our hallowed chambers caught the dire need to develop the Niger Delta region to mitigate the impact of national economic activities in the area. In the year 2000, the National Assembly established the Act that birthed The Niger Delta Development Commission with a clear mandate to develop the land and the people.“20 years after, we must ask ourselves some critical questions as the baton of preservation falls on us, today”, Tunji-Ojo added.
Also within the same period, Rep. Tunji-Ojo claimed the NDDC spent the sum of N790.9m as imprest; N1.956bn to fight the spread of Lassa fever; N900m for Legal services; N220m for maintenance and another N85.6m for oversea travel.
