NDDC: Call Off Forensic Audit Now – SSRG

The South-South Reawakening Group, SSRG has described the infinite forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC as a scam aimed at putting control of the agency in the hands of a few illegal hands.

The group in a statement as such called on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately call off the forensic audit and put it in the hands of a constituted board of the commission as stipulated by the enabling act.

Convener of the SSRG, Comrade Joe Ambakaderimo in the statement said that endless forensic audit was not within the frame of the law as prescribed by the originators of the NDDC Act.

“We can recall the NDDC is still at present being run by an Interim sole administrator. This alien appointment runs counter to the provisions of the act that established the NDDC. This was not the intendment of the framers of the NDDC Act,” the SSRG said.

“To add salt to injury the appointment of Mr Effiong Akwa as announced by Femi Adesina, the Presidential spokesman was said to be an open ended appointment, the first of ever such appointment.

“That the appointment of Effiong Akwa ends whenever the forensic audit is concluded. And this is the reason why the Minister has exploited this clause to his personal advantage by shifting the date for the end to the audit. It is quite interesting,” the group said.

Noting resources poured into the agency in the last three years, the group said:
“About two trillion so far has been budgeted and approved for the commission in the past three years with nothing tangible to show till date and no one his batting an eyelid.

“It is no news that the forensic audit ordered by the President has now been turned into a circus for mismanagement and misappropriation of public funds to oil the machinery of political interests of a few while the region and its people continue to suffer the perpetual  psychological torture of these buccaneers.”
