The minister of Niger Delta affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has said that the forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by the adminstration of President Muhammadu Bhuari is yielding positive results already. Akpabio, speaking in Abuja on Friday, December 27, said that when the NDDC is finally cleased and salvaged from its rot, it will be one of the greatest legacies and accomplishment of President Buhari, The Nation reports.

The minister said that some of the organisations and even financial institutions who are indebted to the commission are begining to make refunds. Akpabio revealed that some of the bodies involved were given funds to make supplies but failed to do so over a long period of time.

He revealed that some of the bodies involved were given funds to make supplies but failed to do so over a long period of time. Akpabio said: “Some have come to say they were given billions to supply things that they could not supply for one reason or the other, that the moneys are stuck in the banks. “I know of a bank that came to say they have $70 million from 2006, one also came to say N170 million had been abandoned...they said they are ready to refund."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that President Buhari, in the morning of Thursday, December 19, announced that the board of the NDDC would be reconstituted. A statement by Femi Adesina, the president's spokesperson, said the recomposition of the new board would take place after the ongoing forensic audit of the commission which is entangled in alleged corruption web.

Na Niger delta people dey kill themselves. Each time I visit them, i always imagine what they spent the huge allocations at their disposal on, yet they're never satisfied. North is second...on allocation sharing formula in Nigeria, the north has the largest of all yet, nothing is happening over there. No development of any sort. Only in the south west with such little share is developed. Everything boils down to management. If a southerner is given one million naira, in the next 2 years , he's an employer of labour. Give same to a northerner, he would lavish it on material things, marry more wives and say, Allah the provider, would provide another one tomorrow. The south south man would spend all on kaikai with wrapper tied on his waist every morning. Shame!

Out of 300 jobs, 120 have been fully paid for, yet nothing on ground. Yet, whenever a project is commissioned in any northern state, na "awa oyel money". Annoyingly, mostly from dwellers of one barren land. 

Senator James must be a Muslim aboki using Niger Delta oil money to develop his kano state.

Akpabio is a thief
