Joseph Ambakederimo, Lead Executive Director, Global Forum for Accountability and Transparency, makes a strong case for the removal of Mr. Effiong Akwa, Sole Administrator of the Niger Delta Development Commission
Global Forum for Accountability and Transparency (GFAT) demands the immediate sack of the Sole Administrator of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr. Effiong Akwa, “for circumventing the law”.
From emerging and confirmed reports in the media, the NDDC Sole Administrator deliberately refused to abide by extant rules in the declaration of his assets as mandated for public officers by the law.
According to a national daily, Akwa is being probed by the Code of Conduct Bureau for failing to declare his assets while serving as the Managing Director of Akwa Ibom State-owned microfinance bank, Akwa Loans and Savings Limited and as the Special Adviser on Finance to a former Managing Director of the NDDC.
