While issuing a statement of rebuttal, the Board Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Distinguished Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba OFR, CON, SAN has debunked a quotation credited to him in a write-up by Chief Adeniyi Akintola (SAN).
The write-up which allegedly credited a statement to the NDDC Chair that “99% of the NDDC contracts awarded under Jonathan and fully paid for were neither documented nor executed and that it would take the EFCC more than a century to unravel the massive corruption in that establishment”.
In a statement issued and signed by his Special Assistant, Communications, Clara Braide, Senator Ndoma-Egba warned that unsubstantiated assertions should not be linked to him in a bid to give such credibility.
Senator Ndoma-Egba is not aware of any gathering or forum where the statement was allegedly made. While he acknowledges that the NDDC like other public sector bodies has governance issues these issues are systematically being addressed by his Board to guarantee transparency and accountability.
