NDDC Is NASS’ Farmland Says Ojougboh, Manager, Mutu, Nwaoboshi, Ojo Fingered
By Jessica Akete fpr

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has reaffirmed the position of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, that saying it has the lists of contracts awarded to members of both chambers of the National Assembly.

Niger Delta today reported that the Executive Director, Projects, of the Interim Management Committee of the commission, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, who disclosed this, accused some top lawmakers in the region including Senator James Manager and Senator Peter Nwaoboshi.

Ojougboh spoke at the palace of the Asagba of Asaba, Prof. Chike Edozien on Friday during a courtesy call on the monarch, prior to the launch of a N450 million police equipment fund sponsored by the commission.

The Executive Director of Projects alleged that members of NASS in the past 20 years saw the NDDC as a farm and not an interventionist agency.

He alleged that NASS members perpetrated the fraud that ruined the commission through the Office of the Secretary to Federal Government (SGF).
In the probe, NASS members are the contractors, they are the judge, they are the prosecutors and they are the jailers.

“That is the country we find ourselves. If this country must move improve, we must look at NASS, and I will tell them where to go at NASS,” Ojougboh told the monarch.

He said the money that was paid into his account is for a trip coming up later in September, explaining that the trip was postponed to September as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The trip was postponed because of the COVID-19 event. So the University of Coventry wrote to say that they will wait until the government relaxes the travel ban before the ceremonies and graduation of students will take place,” he added.
