Following his statement on why the National Assembly, NASS, is repealing the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Act, a group known as Transparency and Accountability Advancement group, Thursday, disagreed with the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on NDDC, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, insisting that the commission has no problem that would warrant amendment of its Act.
Yesterday, Tunji-Ojo said that the need to amend the commission’s Act was to make it more development orientated in the service of the region. He equally stated that many deficiencies inherent in the extant laws regulating the affairs of the commission were stifling efficiency and transparency in the commission.
