President Muhammadu Buhari has moved to end the recriminations over alleged corruption in the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC and vowed to get to the root of the matter.
The president ordered an effective and coordinated probe by security and investigating agencies along with the National Assembly on allegations and counter allegations of corruption rocking the NDDC.
The president said in Abuja that the coordinated probe had become imperative in view of the federal government’s efforts to bring sanity, transparency and accountability to the management of huge resources being allocated to develop the Niger Delta.
The Minister of Niger Delta, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and former acting Managing Director of the NDDC, Joy Nunieh, have traded accusations over the sleaze in the commission in the last week.
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said in a statement in a reaction to the unfolding drama said Buhari was aware of the attacks and counter-attacks between and around persons, institutions, and the NDDC.
Buhari expressed his determination to get to the root of the problem undermining the development of the Niger Delta and its peoples despite the enormous national resources allocated to the agency yearly.
