President Muhammadu Buhari has dissolved the new board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) led by former Deputy governor, Dr. Pius Odubu as chairman and Olorogun Bernard Okumagba as Managing Director.
He said upon completion of the forensic audit he recently ordered, a new board would be reconstituted and inaugurated.
Buhari also cleared the air that the Interim Management Committee (IMC) recently inaugurated by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio will oversee the commission until the end of the audit.
The presidency stated this on Thursday in a State House statement on Thursday by the President’s media aide, Mr Femi Adesina.
“The President has also directed that the Interim Management Team of the NDDC shall be in place till the forensic is completed and that the supervision of the Commission shall remain under the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs”, Buhari said.
