Tunji-Ojo said the House committee has resolved to work with the management team of the commission and other critical stakeholders to resolve the lingering issue of abandoned projects confronting NDDC.
He also said only contractors with capacity should be awarded contracts by the NDDC, adding that the review and implementation of Niger Delta master plan was long overdue
In his response, the Sole Interim Administrator of NDDC, Effiong Okon Akwa, said the canvassed position that only contractors with capacities should be awarded contracts and the suggested reviewing of the commission’s master plan were good ideas. He also supported the need to amend the NDDC Establishment Act.
