A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday, dismissed a suit seeking to stop President Muhammadu Buhari from delegating powers to control the Niger Delta

Justice James Omotosho, in a judgment, dismissed the suit for lacking in merit.

The judge said the provision gave the President wide powers to oversee the management of the commission. Ekengba, an indigene of Imo, a member state of NDDC, while stating the facts leading to the case, said the President by the letter, had amended the commission’s Act. He also averred that the minister, on Aug. 17, 2022, issued a directive on the day-to-day running of the commission to the director of ‘Community and Rural Development, requesting for the programmes of the commission in breach of statutory provisions, saying it was the duty of the court to rectify these breaches.
