The federal government has said it is worried and alarmed that over 13,777 projects being handled by the Niger Delta Development Commission has their execution “substantially compromised.”

It also said that the commission has about 362 bank accounts that lack proper reconciliation.

The Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, made this known in Abuja after receiving the forensic audit report of the NDDC from the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio. 

President Buhari had, in 2019, ordered a forensic audit of the NDDC’s operations from 2001 to 2019.
