By our reporter| The House Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) on Friday summoned the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Godswill Akpabio, to appear and make presentations before it on Monday, July 20, 2020.
Akpabio is to appear before the committee with the Managing Director of the NDDC, Professor Kemebradikumo Pondei to appear before it on the same day.
Pondei had on Thursday walked out on an investigative hearing put together by the House of Representatives, saying the Commission cannot partake an investigative hearing which is being presided over by the chairman of the committee who has been accused by the NDDC of hijacking the Commission’s projects.
According to him, the commission cannot get fair hearing under such setting.
This comes after the former MD of the NDDC, Joy Nunieh, on Friday gave her testimony at the House Committee on Public Hearing via zoom.
Ms. Nunieh who denies mismanaging funds at the agency, however, told members of the committee that the siege on her residence was an attempt to prevent her from testifying before the panel.
