PRESIDENT BUHARI EXTENDS TENURE OF NDDC INTERIM MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

President Muhammadu Buhari has extended the tenure of the Professor Keme Pondei-led Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) from May 1 to December 31, 2020.
The extension is to cover the period of the forensic audit of the NDDC, earlier approved by the Federal Executive Council, under the chairmanship of the President.
In the same vein, President Buhari equally approved that the NDDC provides intervention support to complement efforts of the Federal and State governments against further spread of COVID-19 in the nine States of the Niger Delta region, in the sum of Six Billion, Two Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N6,250,000,000.00) only.
The materials and supplies are to be done through Emergency Procurement method as provided in Sections 42(b) (c) and 43 of the Public Procurement Act, 2007.

The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio who curiously asked and got the nod to allegedly usurp the statutory powers of President Muhammadu Buhari to enable him annex and have a firm control of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NNDC, under his powers 

As the transfer of the Niger Delta Development Commission to the Ministry of Niger Delta continues to generate some furore among stakeholders, facts are emerging on some underhand deals that might have taken place.

DAILY POST recalls that long before the transfer of the NDDC was officially sealed through Buhari’s October 1, address, the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Abba Kyari had, through a memo, delegated the effective control of the Commission to Akpabio.

In a restricted memo dated 2nd of September, 2019 to the Honourable Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, the Chief of Staff stated, ‘The President had delegated the powers conferred on him by Law to the Hon.Minister’.

But the memo also quoted an initial letter written by Akpabio on August 22nd requesting that the powers of the President be transferred to him.
