The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio has assured the people of the Niger Delta that the outcome of the Forensic Audit and implementation of its recommendation, which would herald the inauguration of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), would gladden their hearts.
Speaking at the Radio Nigeria morning interview programme; Politics Nationwide, yesterday, Akpabio said: “Let me assure my people in the Niger Delta that when the report of the Forensic Audit is received by President Muhammadu Buhari and the NDDC board inaugurated, with guidelines based on the recommendations of the Auditors, we would all be happy for it, because the Commission will become bankable and able to access international loan facilities for the development purposes.”
He noted that the Niger Delta region stands to benefit a lot from the outcome of the Audit because the Commission would be repositioned to be more productive, in order to meet the yearnings of the people of the region.
He said: “The NDDC, after the Forensic Audit, would be more concerned with executing projects that would have direct economic benefits for the people, rather than embark on white elephant projects as was the practice in the past.”
On why the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has not been involved in the Forensic Audit of the Commission, Akpabio said:
