Ndoma-Egba debunks saying NDDC contracts under Jonathan were undocumented

Sen. Victor Ndoma-Egba, NDDC Board Chairman

Chairman of the governing board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, SAN has debunked a quotation credited to him in a write-up by Chief Adeniyi Akintola (SAN).

Akintola has been quoted in the press as saying that Ndoma-Egba told him 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".

But the NDDC boss has distance himself in a statement issued and signed by his Special Assistant, Communications, Clara Braide.

The former Senate Leader warned that unsubstantiated assertions should not be linked to him in a bid to give such  credibility.

Ndoma-Egba maintained that he was not aware of any gathering or forum where the statement was allegedly made.

While acknowledging that the NDDC like other public sector bodies has governance issues, he added that the issues are systematically being addressed by his Board to guarantee transparency and accountability.
