A
forum of the All Progressives Congress, APC, local government chairmen in Delta
State have denounced attempts by some persons to blackmail and drag the
Executive Director, Projects, Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Samuel
Adjogbe, into unnecessary contract controversy.
The
forum in a statement by the chairman, Valentine Egbe, said the relevant
procurement law stipulates in unambiguous terms how contracts are awarded in
public institutions including NDDC.
The
statement adds that it wondered why people would think that the Executive
Director, Projects could and would engage in the sharing of projects to choice
individuals as if the projects were his personal property.
While
noting that the Executive Director, Projects, has proven to be a man of
impeccable character with a clear determination to diligently carry out the
official mandate of the commission to transform the Niger Delta, the statement
notes that, the present board of the NDDC has severally reiterated its
determination to ensure that due process is followed in the award of contracts
in such a way that only competent and qualified contractors who can deliver on
time are engaged.
