BREAKING: Buhari Cancels Controversial ‘Senate Screened NDDC Board’, Approves Reconstitution, Interim Magt. C’ttee To Remain Indefinitely

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved that the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) be recomposed and inaugurated after the forensic audit of the commission.

The President has also directed that the Interim Management Team of the NDDC shall be in place till the forensic is completed, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President, (Media and Publicity) said in a statement Thursday morning.

The statement also said that the supervision of the Commission shall remain under the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.

Recalls BIGPEN Online had consistently reported that the earlier constituted and senate screened board of the commission purportedly led by the duo of Bernard Okumagba (Delta) as Managing Director and Dr. Pius Odubu (Edo) as chairman was a hoax.
