Godspower Tamunosusi draws attention to the consistent open disregard of the law establishing the Niger Delta Development Commission by the Muhammadu Buhari administration
The orderly succession in NDDC was only breached in 2015 by the Buhari Administration when it dissolved the Bassey Henshaw – led Board and appointed Ibim Semenitari as Sole Administrator, a position she held illegally for over one year. The illegality in NDDC continued in January 2019 when President Buhari dissolved the two-year old Victor Ndoma-Egba – led Board and replaced the Board with an Interim Management team led by Professor Nelson Brambaifa.
Under the illegal interim managements/sole administrator contraptions, the combined two-year budget for 2019 and 2020, as approved by the National Assembly was N799 Billion.
Niger Deltans are disillusioned and angry. A broad assemblage of prominent leaders of the Niger Delta including statesmen, top lawyers, civil society organisations, sociopolitical groups and ethnic groups have condemned the continued occupation of the NDDC by these illegal managements yet the President has refused to do the right thing.
Recently, Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, who is also Chairman of the South-south Governors Forum, stated the unequivocal opposition of the constituent states to the continued illegal management of the NDDC.
