Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Nsima Ekere, says the commission had disbursed about N30 billion to its contractors.
Disclosing this at a meeting with members of NDDC Contractors’ Association in Port Harcourt, the NDDC boss said the payment was made by the new Board since it took office in November, adding that the board met over 8,000 projects scattered across the region with many abandoned with liability of about N1.3 trillion.
According to him, the board has also directed that all interim payment certificates bearing below N20 million be processed for immediate payment.
Meanwhile, a committee will be set up by the commission to conduct investigative hearing on allegations of corruption on some of its staffers, having received several petitions.
