Posted by: Folamidavid in Politics, News Oct 18, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered for the books of the NDDC to be audited since it was established to be opened.

According to the number one man in Nigeria, he does not trust the agency.

He demanded the instant probe of the finances of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) starting from 2001 till now, because he does not feel projects on the ground in the region is equal to the cash that has been disbursed.

On Twitter, Buhari wrote, “I have ordered a forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). With the amount of money the federal government has allocated to the NDDC, we‘d like to see the results on the ground; those that are responsible for that have to explain certain issues.”

“The projects that are said to have been done must be verifiable. One cannot just say billions have been spent and when the sites are visited, there is nothing to be seen as proof of work done. The forensic audit will cover the NDDC’s operations from 2001 to 2019.”

Hmmm…What say you?
