Former Chairman of the Governing Board of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, has advised the current Chairman, Lauretta Onochie, to be guided by provisions of the Act that established the Commission.
This is despite the fact that the NDDC has had no Chairman since January 2019 when President Muhammadu Buhari dissolved the Board of the Commission and put it under the supervision of the Ministry of Niger Delta.
Adesotu, a former Delta House of Assembly aspirant for Aniocha North Senatorial District said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Sunday in Abuja.
An interest group from the Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State, Ilaje National Alliance Movement (INAMO), has raised the alarm that some political and business elites from the council area are negotiating with some people from Imo State to frustrate the confirmation of Charles Ogunmola as Executive Director (ED), Projects, Niger/Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in the Senate. SaharaReporters had reported how a coalition of legal practitioners from Ilaje town under the platform of Ilaje Lawyers Forum urged the Senate to reject the nomination by President Muhammadu Buhari.
