Crisis Hits Niger Delta Commission, NDDC As Board Members Stop Chairman, Laurett

Crisis hits Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) over an alleged attempt by the Chairman of the Governing Board of the agency, Lauretta Onochie, to take over the duties of the Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku.

The composition of the NDDC board has been a subject of controversy in recent times, with the inclusion of certain persons – an action which has been roundly condemned by Nigerians.

Also, some Ilaje stakeholders in the oil-producing area of Ondo State have sued President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration over the composition of the agency’s board.

The commission had been without a board for nearly four years following some controversies surrounding the leadership of the commission.
