NSIMA EKERE IS CONSIDERED THE WORST MD NDDC EVER HAD

-JOSHUA ROLLAS

The tenure of Nsima Ekere's management as MD of NDDC has been described as the worst since the creation of the interventionist agency.

Chief Joshua Rollas who is the President of Niger Delta Development People's Assembly stated this recently when he spoke with journalists in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Chief Rollas described the administration of Nsima Ekere as one without a vision, focus and blueprint. He also noted that under Nsima Ekere, NDDC has abandoned thousands of projects executed by the Commission, Nsima has also abandoned contractors who put in so much money to execute projects given to them.

In his words, Chief Rollas maintained that Nsima Ekere who is characterized by high impunity, pride, deceit, lies, intimidation wondered how Nsima Ekere could be trusted with the position of a Governor when he lacks the capacity to lead an interventionist agency like NDDC.

When asked if he had a personal experience with the MD of NDDC, Mr Joshua said "ask him, he knows me very well. I have been to his office many times. All Nsima is interested in is how he could use the money of the NDDC to enrich himself. For the first time an MD is asking for his COT in any contract he gives out no matter how small it was", the Chief explained.

He also said that this is the first time in history of NDDC where contracts are blown up by 100% of the real contract sum. Chief Rollas however complained that the most painful and disappointing part of the whole thing is that he and other concerned Niger Deltans have petitioned the EFCC, but no one has answered them. He said that he believes that Nsima may have bribed the EFCC with contracts so that no matter how much you complain, no one listens to you.

Chief Joshua assured that he has not and will never give up on the struggle for the common wealth of the Niger Delta region, noting that anyone who attempts to sale of oil blocks to some power brokers in Nigeria will continue to get a stiff opposition because the wealth of the region belongs to the people and not some power drunk individuals.
