The
Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dan Abia on
Wednesday denied the allegation that N183.7 billion was missing from the
commission’s account. The special periodic check report of the Office of
the Auditor-General of the Federation had claimed that N183.7 billion was
mismanaged by the commission.
The Nation report continues:
The Auditor-General of the Federation, Samuel
Ukura, had insisted that his office stand by the report and directed those not
satisfied to prepare to defend their position before a special committee of the
National Assembly.
But Abia in a chat with State House Correspondents
after leading top officials of the commission to meet President Muhammadu
Buhari, said the claim was not true.
According to him, he was not even the Managing
Director of the Commission during the period the AGF mentioned in his report.
He said his hands are clean and will be ready to
defend the allegation with the records available at the commission.
