Our MD Has Been Sick For 2 Weeks – NDDC

The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC said on Monday that its acting managing director, Prof. Kemebradikumo Pondei had been sick for two weeks and ignored doctor’s advice to attend the public hearing that culminated in him collapsing.

Reacting to the incident in the House of Representatives when Prof. Pondei slumped during interrogation by the House Committee on Niger Delta, the commission in a statement issued by its Director, Corporate Affairs, Charles Odili, said Pondei has been ill for two weeks now.

The statement titled ‘Prof Pondei has been ill’ read in part:
“The Commission wishes to disclose that Prof Pondei has been ill for the past two weeks. This morning, his condition deteriorated, and his doctors advised against attending the hearing.

“However, he ignored his doctors’ advice because of the realisation that his traducers will use his absence at the hearing to soil his name and reputation. He thought he could make it through the hearing and take care of his health later.

“As it turned out, his doctors were right. Prof Pondei is in a stable condition at a clinic in Abuja.”
