President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered a forensic audit of the operations of the Niger Delta Development Commission from 2001 to 2019. The decision followed persistent criticisms of the operations of the commission. A statement bythe Special Adviser (Media and Publicity),Femi Adesina, said Buhari gave the directive after receiving governors of the states that make up the NCDC, led by Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State.
The President said what was presently on ground in the South-South region did not justify the huge resources that had been made available to the agency.

He said, “I try to follow the Act setting up these institutions especially the NDDC. With the amount of money that the
Federal Government has religiously allocated to the NDDC, we will like to see the results on the ground; those that are
responsible for that have to explain certain issues.

“The projects said to have been done must be veri�able. You just cannot say you spent so much billions and when the
place is visited, one cannot see the structures that have been . Buhari admitted that developing the Niger Delta area
required enormous resources compared to other parts of the country with Similer lands.
“I am acutely aware, with my experience, that projects in your area are very expensive; that is why if any job is given, we
must make sure that the company is competent and has the capacity to do it well with experienced consultants”, he said.
Buhari however said that he would wait for the report of the audit before deciding on the next line of action regarding the
organisation.
