The federal government has declared that the much-clamoured inauguration of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC as well as the implementation of the forensic audit report are work in progress.
But the government has stated that in whatever it was doing, the public interest remains its watchword.
In separate reactions, the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, said the inauguration of the NDDC board and forensic audit report would be carried out.
Responding the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, stated that the issue of inaugurating the board of the NDDC was a work in progress which involves input from relevant stakeholders in the country.
Malami, who spoke through his media aide, Umar Gwandu, stated that concerned individuals and organisations were working hard to ensure that the board that would be put in place not only meets the expectations of stakeholders, but would serve the overall interest of the society.
