Akpabio Deceiving Buhari On NDDC Audit – Joi

The minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio was on Friday accused of deceiving President Muhammadu Buhari and the country over the forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission.

The former Managing Director of the NDDC, Ms. Joi Nunieh who made the assertion also accused Akpabio of giving instructions to the NDDC to award contracts to unregistered companies.

She spoke in a session with the House of Representatives Committee on Niger Delta via Zoom.

She said:
“The issue is that everyone in Nigeria has been deceived that the forensic audit is going on.

“I want to say here that if Nigerians find out that the forensic audit is going on, every testimony and allegations that I have made should be cancelled and disregarded, there’s no forensic audit going on.

“There’s no auditing firm in Nigeria that’s of big repute. The nine companies on that list, none of our major auditing companies in Nigeria is on that list.

“Secondly, can I say that the forensic auditors have been procured? my answer is no.

“The President had written a letter to the National Assembly appointing the forensic and suspending the appointment of the board, in that letter the President said that he was appointing the Interim Management Committee (IMC) to supervise the forensic audit, that was the reason he was bringing in the IMC.

“What I met wasn’t exactly what was going on, the Minister, Akpabio insisted that he will supervise the forensic audit, I reminded him and showed him a letter that the President had written, there’s no way that we can spend the money that’s in our budget,” she said.
