President Muhammadu Buhari will receive the final report of a forensic audit of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by the end of July, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Godswill Akpabio has said.
The minister further disclosed that the name of nominees for the reconstitution of the NNDC board would soon be forwarded to the National Assembly.
Akpabio made the disclosure while fielding questions from State House Correspondents Tuesday evening at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, after meeting with the Chief of Staff to the President, I rayon Gambari.
The minister explained that the final report would be submitted to President Buhari for implementation.
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) had in February 2020 approved the appointment of a lead consultant for the forensic audit of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
He said that he was hopeful that the new board would use the recommendations of forensic audit to work and reposition the commission.
The minister regretted that, in the past, the headquarters of the commission was not connected to the national grid for 10 years to 15 years.
