  • Senate opens up, denies padding NDDC budget

    Senate opens up, denies padding NDDC budget

    Chairman, Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, Sen. Peter Nwaoboshi (PDP-Delta) on Wednesday, denied the alleged padding of 2019 budget of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) as alleged by Interim Management Committee (IMC) of NDDC.

    He also said that the allegation of having removed the regional projects of President Muhammadu Buhari in the budget submitted to the committee and inclusion of 500 non existing projects valued at N80 billion was untrue.

    He also refuted the allegation that the committee was not forth coming in the processes leading to approval of the 2020 budget of the NDDC, noting that the senate had approved the commission’s budget in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

    Nwaoboshi, made the clarifications at news a conference in Abuja on Tuesday.

    The Acting Managing Director of NDDC, Prof. Kemebradikumo Pondei and the Executive Director, Projects of NDDC, Dr Cairo Ojuigbo had at different news fora accused the National Assembly of infractions in 2019 budget of NDDC.

    The IMC acting managing director and the executive director projects had alleged that the National Assembly had padded the commission’s budget with 500 non existing projects with appropriation of billions of naira.

    The NDDC IMC had noted that the budget which would be terminated by May 31 was yet to execute any projects in the region for the fiscal year.

    The senate had earlier set up an ad-hoc committee to investigate an alleged misappropriation of N40 billion by the NDDC IMC in the four months of its operations.

    Nwaoboshi, who was however not a member of the senate ad-hoc committee investigating the IMC said: “Blackmail will not stop the senate committee from doing its investigation.

    “The 2019 budget of NDDC was given to the IMC since April 20, and they signed for it.

    “They have been implementing the budget, no complain, while nobody said the budget was balkanised, just because the National Assembly has decided to investigate the activities of the IMC, the issue of payments, balkanisation of budget, payments among other issues came up.

    “Just because the IMC will appear before the Senate Committee to defend its activities.”

    He said the National Assembly have the constitutional rights to appropriate and no amount of intimidation would stop the senate from exercising its rights.

    He said it was untrue that the committee was not working on the 2020 budget of the NDDC, noting that the IMC was yet to produce the relevant documents on the budget proposal to the committee.

    He urged the IMC to appear before the ad-hoc committee investigating it to prove its innocence over the allegations against the management instead of embarking on cheap blackmail on the National Assembly.

    Nwaoboshi said the decision of the Senate to set up an ad-hoc committee was very right, given the series of blackmails on its committee on NDDC committee.

  • Forensic audit: How NDDC budget was padded from National Assembly – MD

    Forensic audit: How NDDC budget was padded from National Assembly – MD

    Prof. Kemebradikumo Pondei, acting Managing Director, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) revealed on Tuesday that the commission’s 2019 budget was inflated with over 500 non-existing projects.

    Pondei made the disclosure on Tuesday while addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt while making clarifications on allegations of corruption levelled against the Interim Management Committee (IMC).

    The acting managing director said that billions of naira was appropriated for the non-existing projects.

    He said the interim management committee made the discovery while investigating the 2019 appropriation to the commission.

    Recall President Muhammadu Buhari had in 2019 ordered a forensic audit of NDDC finances, which took effect on April 22.

    According to the acting managing director, the NDDC 2019 budget will terminate on May 31 without any project executed in the region during the fiscal year.

    “We discovered that after NDDC forwarded its budget to the National Assembly Committees on NDDC, what was sent back to the commission was no longer recognisable.

    “The 2019 budget was classically over padded, with almost 500 new projects inserted to it when it was sent back to us.

    “We found out the budget appropriation was done in such a way that meaningful projects were allocated very little sums of money.

    “It is unfortunate that the 2019 budget will expire on May 31 without any project executed in the region. It was passed two months to the end of its implementation period.

    “It is worrying that rather than being a major intervention agency, the commission has been reduced to erecting street lights and constructing drainages, something local governments should do,” he said.

    Pondei described as false the allegations by some groups that the IMC misappropriated billions meant for the development of the Niger Delta.

    He said the allegations were the handiwork of people and groups who were afraid that the ongoing forensic audit would reveal their corrupt dealings with past NDDC managements.

    The acting managing director said the ongoing probe by the national assembly committees on NDDC was meant to arm-twist and force the IMC to tamper with the forensic audit.

    “We have faced so much pressure from some members of the National Assembly not to send certain files to forensic auditors. We refused because we fear this will compromise the process.

    “Similarly, we have also faced pressure to pay for 132 jobs which have no proof of execution as well as pay out N6.4 billion for those jobs.

    “We believe that an IMC set up as a cleansing structure cannot become part of an old story of rot,” he said.

    Pondei added that the IMC was committed to breaking the stranglehold on the commission by some politicians who had turned NDDC to their cash cows.

    He gave the assurance that IMC was fully focused on delivering President Buhari’s forensic audit of the NDDC finances before the expiration of the committee’s tenure in December.

  • NDDC: No amount of threats will stop us from investigating IMC, Reps’ C’ttee chairman warns detractors

    NDDC: No amount of threats will stop us from investigating IMC, Reps’ C’ttee chairman warns detractors

    …insists blackmails from militants can’t deter us

    The House of Representatives Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) on Tuesday vowed not to be deterred from carrying out the investigation into the allegations leveled against the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) despite series of blackmail and threat messages being issued by sponsored militant groups against the chairman and members of the NDDC Committee.

    Chairman, of the Committee, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo gave the assurance while addressiing news men in Abuja, in response to various allegations leveled against the National Assembly and himself by Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, IMC Executive Director Projects on a television station on Monday.

    Hon. Tunji-Ojo who dismissed the allegations, said: “It’s unfortunate that these allegations are coming up as I’ve always said are blackmails and it’s surprising because I became the chairman of this Committee in September last year and between September and now I can say categorically that not a kobo of contract has been awarded for emergency so I don’t know what he’s talking about.

    “It’s laughable because IMC themselves came into being in October last year, a month after I became the chairman of this Committee. The same Dr. Cairo said on Arise TV that they have not awarded a single contract since they came on board so how did One Trillion, Two Trillion or whatever trillion come into play? This is just sheer blackmail we expected it from the onset when the investigation process started and the bottom line is that we are not going to be deterred. I have to say this, this is coming after threats and after threat to life by militants, by different text messages, calls and etc; the threats have failed.

    “So the next agenda to stop the legislative work is blackmail. And I can say it categorically, we are more determined to work for the people of Niger Delta than ever. I can say it there is no One Trillion, Two Trillion, 10 Trillion or anything it does not exist. May be it only exist in the figment of their own imagination,” Hon. Tunji-Ojo noted.

    While stressing that the National Assembly “does not award contracts”, the NDDC Chairman observed that Dr. Ojougboh who accused him of getting multi-billion naira contracts in one breath barely a month after being inaugurated as NDDC chairman, in another breath denied that the IMC did not award any contract since it was inaugurated in October, 2019.

    According to the All Progressives Congress, APC law maker, “I’m surprised that anybody will award a job that is not in the budget and I’m surprised about that and I’ve gone through the 2019 budget as approved and I can tell you point blank that in the 2019 budget there’s no provision, there is nothing like emergency training in the 2019 budget, nothing like that, I don’t know what he’s talking about. And I’ve said it before and let me repeat for the umpteenth time I do not have a single contract in NDDC

    “They started with a 17 km road contract which they couldn’t substantiate and they’ve come up with another thing. We are only expecting what next, and only God know what else they will come up with again. I don’t have any contract in NDDC, I have never been a contractor to NDDC, I’ve never worked for NDDC and I’ve never been paid by NDDC for anything.

    “So I’m the chairman of this Committee by the grace of God. I know the responsibilities on my shoulder and I know that the Niger Delta people is looking up to us for succour. Niger Delta is looking up to us for intervention, Niger Delta is also looking up to us for help, Niger Delta is looking up to us for a greater tomorrow; we will not mortgage the future of the Niger Delta people for the sake of our today. That will never happen. I don’t have a contract and I repeat it again, don’t have a contract! And it is an indictment on their part if they claimed that there was a award for an unbudgeted item, that is a serious offence that I think the National Assembly must look into,” Hon. Tunji-Ojo stated.

    While reacting to allegations bothering on budget padding, Hon. Tunji-Ojo argued that the House and indeed the National Assembly reduced the proposed NDDC budget from N409.883 billion to N346,388,900,000 in line with its revenue projection submitted to the Parliament, adding that the proposed budget was inflated by N63 billion which was unjustifiable.

    According to him, “I listened to the interview yesterday they said we inflated the budget. Number one I have to say this thing, budget was not inflated. I will show you some documents. This was the summary of the revenue profile that NDDC brought. A budget of N409.883 billion was brought by NDDC. As a responsible parliament saddled with the responsibility of appropriation as guaranteed under section 81 of the constitution we sat down to look at how realistic this revenue profile is. You cannot spend money that you don’t have.

    “So we needed to be sure of the revenue profile for us to be able to adequately and appropriately appropriate in tune with global best practice. This is what we ended up with: and I will tell you how we can about it. For example, the Federal Government contribution to the NDDC budget which is statutory transfer is not a secret is always itemized in the Appropriation Act of the Federal Government for that particular fiscal year. For the 2019 fiscal year, the amount that was appropriated by the federal government signed by President Muhammadu Buhari in the budget was N100,188,900,000 as against a proposal by them of N128,688,000,000. Where are you going to raise the extra 28 billion from?

    “Are you going to manufacture money? You cannot manufacture money and it is budgetary in discipline for you to overstate your revenue profile. Once your revenue profile is defective, appropriation becomes faulty and once appropriation becomes faulty, implementation becomes impossible. So as a responsible parliament we needed to bring down 128 billion down to the approved 100 billion in the 2019 Appropriation Act of government. Number 2, they said Federal Government’s contribution unpaid arrears they stated it as 35 billion and take a look the budget of Nigeria is an open document. Take a look at it, you can go to www.budgetoffice.or.ng it’s online and look at the budgetary provision. It was a zero for unpaid arrears. Yet you stated 35 billion.

    “As a responsible parliament some of us came from a wide consulting background in the private sector and we said you cannot appropriate 35 billion that is not existing. So in tune with this, it means the budget revenue proposal submitted to us by NDDC was inflated unjustifiably to the tune of N63 billion, so for us to be able to appropriate, we called them when they came for budget defence precisely on the 10th of December 2019 this is impossible you can’t spend money that is not yours. Money that you don’t have you don’t spend it, you can’t use what you don’t have.

    “This budget will have to be reviewed to a new realistic point that’s why the budget was reviewed downward to N346,388,900,000. This is in line with the reality of the revenue available. So the issue of inflation of budget is not just despicable, it is mostly uncharitable. Nothing like that happened. Then Number 3, the power of appropriation as guaranteed under the constitution lies with the national assembly not a single project, I heard he (Dr. Cairo) said that Mr. President regional project were removed, I can tell you not a single project, not one and I stand to be quoted, this is their proposed 2019 budget that they brought. Take a look at this budget and take a look at the signed approved budget, not a single project was removed from the budget.

    “But once you have overstated your revenue, if your revenue changes your expenditure must change, and that was what happened. Also he spoke about bulkanisation of the projects, may I inform you that the percentage of new projects in the NDDC budget, I will give you the documents before you go, is just 9.1% of the entire NDDC budget. And by every standard I don’t see that as bulkanisation, 9.1% of the entire NDDC projects. So the issue of the balkanisation of the budget does not in any way arise. And also I have to put this on record, all these accusations are coming because the National Assembly decided to institute a probe after calls and different petitions and blackmail and threats have been used as a weapon to stop the National Assembly, that has not worked.

    “Then the latest one is this issue of sheer blackmail. We have called them if you have any document against me please release such documents or better still rather than unnecessary throwing of tantrums, approach the relevant security and anti-corruption agencies but the National Assembly will not be deterred from doing its work. We owe our loyalty to the Nigerian people and as a Committee we owe our loyalty to the people of the Niger Delta that have been deprived over the years. I will say this time around, we must have a Commission that will work not just for the people, it must work for everybody in the Niger Delta,” he stressed.

    While noting that the House had at no time indicted the IMC nor pass a resolution to that effect, Hon. Tunji-Ojo assured that the proposed investigation into various allegations would be free and fair, adding that the IMC members should seize from pursuing shadows as evident in all the antics adopted.

    He maintained that the House and indeed the National Assembly is in full support of the forensic audit being carried out in NDDC, as the National Assembly approved total sum of N2.5 billion for the exercise in the 2019 budget out of which the sum of N1.250 billion has been relaseed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to IMC.

    According to him, “It was stated yesterday that we are doing this probe because we are against the forensic. Let me say this clearly, I, Hon. Olubumi Tunji-Ojo I was on Politics Today on Channels Television, when the President approved the forensic and I openly supported it, until tomorrow I support it, my Committee support it, the House of Reps is in support, the Senate I know they are in support, the National Assembly is in support

    “To indicate our support, when the 2019 budget was brought, this is the 2019 budget, look at this budget proposal, the President approved forensic in October last year, this budget was brought to the National Assembly in November, precisely November 26, a month after the approval of the President for forensic. Yet, they did not put forensic as a budget line in the budget; they have no financial provision for forensic. It took the National Assembly in line with its power of appropriation to be able to provide funds for the forensic.

    “This is it in the budget, precisely serial No: 179 under regional for the forensic. The President approved the sum of N2.5 billion for the forensic and we budgeted for the provision of N2.5 billion in line with what the President approved and we made provision for N1.250 billion in 2019 budget of which they have already paid some, because we have records from CBN and others.

    “How else as a Legislature, as a responsible and responsive arm of government can we cooperate and show support for the forensic other than making these funds available? If we are not in support, we wouldn’t have made the funds available. Let me say emphatically, we are in support of forensic because the truth must be lay bared and what we are saying in the process of doing forensic if there are allegations, you should be able to defend yourself and not hide under forensic as if forensic has granted you immunity.

    “Forensic is not a medium of granting immunity and that’s all we are saying. We have not indicted anybody. All these things are still allegations against the IMC, there is no resolution of the House against them yet, all we are saying is there are allegations, come and defend yourself in line with the principle of fair hearing. We have written to them, we have written to several government agencies CBN, Accountant General, all of them and we are getting documents and we are going to get evidence and we have promised that this investigation is going to be free and fair. And I don’t see why everybody should be scared of their own shadow, there is no need. We are all working for the Niger Delta people, we don’t see them as enemies but allegations have been raised it is only ethical for you to clear yourself of allegations.

    “If you have nothing to hide, why throwing tantrums, why blackmail, why manufacturing figures, that doesn’t exist, talk is cheap, why blackmailing people, why blackmailing the Institution? But I want to assure you of one thing, and I will like to assure the people of Niger Delta we will not be intimidated, we will not be blackmailed into submission, we will do a thorough job, not just to our own satisfaction, not just to the satisfaction of the house but to the satisfaction of the people of the Niger Delta in line with the realities on ground. That is a promise we are making to the Niger Delta people,” Hon. Tunji-Ojo said.

  • [TNG X-RAY] Alleged N40bn fraud: Senate to unmask how Niger Deltans commonwealth was squandered by NDDC’s IMC

    The stage is set as the Senate armed with all the required arsenals move to probe how N40billion was lavished within ninety days by Senator Akpabio’s handpicked Interim Management Committee.
    The Senate apparently disturbed by the manner N40bn grew wings from the coffers of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC last week Tuesday constituted an adhoc investigative panel to unearth what actually transpired.
    Senator George Sekibo in a motion had unearthed the massive fraud allegedly perpetuated by the IMC which paved way for the probe.
    While making his submission the Rivers State Lawmaker emptied his points rounding up that the Senate should dig deeper into the matter to bring those involved in the looting of Niger Deltans Commonwealth to book.
    Sekibo had in the motion entitled : ” Urgent Need to Investigate Alleged Financial Recklessness in the Niger Delta Development Commission ( NDDC) alleged reports from the Commission , indicate State of financial Recklessness that must be investigated and stopped .
    According to him, while President Muhamnadu Buhari set up the IMC to coordinate forensic auditing of financial transactions carried out by the now dissolved Board of the commission , reports emanating from IMC, indicate financial Recklessness on it’s part too.
    He added that aside financial Recklessness being carried out by the IMC, is also indulging in alleged arbitrary sack of the management staff of the Commission .
    He said : ” While President Buhari ‘s action of setting up an IMC and the forensic audit may have been conceived to forestall the financial Recklessness of the commission and reposition it for fast tracking of the development of the region , the IMC has been more bedevilled with the same financial misuse , misapplication , misappropriation or outright fraud in the management of the funds of the commission .
    ” Within the last three months, the commission has spent over N40billion of the commission ‘s fund without recourse to established processes of funds disbursements , which has open up further suspicion among stakeholders of the Niger Delta Region .
    ” IMC is also alleged to be arbitrarily using executive power for wrongful sacking of management staff of the commission without recourse to established civil service rules and practices .
    ” Consequently, the IMC has lost credibility and seen as a financial conduit pipe based on opinions of stakeholders in the region , which therefore urgently calls for an intervention by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to install confidence in the people for whom the commission was primarily established .
    ” In particular, Section 88 of the constitution ( as amended), has conferred on the National Assembly and in this case the Senate, to ascertain whether the sum of N40billion so appropriated and in the coffers of the commission , has been properly applied judiciously and appropriately to programmes meant for “.
    Senator Akpabio who oversees the Niger Delta Ministry and by extension the IMC has described the Senate move as an empty threat as his IMC has lived above board.
    But Niger Deltans are not particularly happy the way NDDC their Commonwealth is being managed.
    Many had expressed their anger via many communicative channels but the one that really touched the heartbeat of the matter is that of Barrister Jesutega Onokpasa calling on the National Assembly to conduct a stainless probe.
    Read him:
    News that the Senate of the Federal Republic had resolved to investigate the Interim Management Committee, IMC, of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, brought a great sigh of relief to stakeholders across the Niger Deltan region who have been dazed by the humongous degree of corruption and irregularities that have reigned over the commission ever since the illegal contraption championed by the Niger Delta Affairs Minister, Senator Godswill Akpabio, took over the interventionist agency. Hitherto, it had been a most perplexing mystery to many of us how come our national legislature and more especially its upper chamber had seemingly gone to sleep with respect to a crucial agency of government charged with the development of a potentially explosive region which also doubles as the goose that lays the golden eggs for the entire nation. Indeed, ever since Akpabio executed his extra-ministerial coup of scuttling the institution of the commission’s lawfully envisaged board that had been duly screened and confirmed by the Upper House, and instead installed his handpicked illegal IMC of wholly incredible characters, it appeared he had been afforded license to personalise the collective property of the Niger Deltan people and handed a blank cheque to deplete its resources for the benefit of himself and those through whom he keeps getting all manner of highly infuriating extra-constitutional approvals from the seat of power in far away Abuja.
    I can at this moment project that Akpabio, lacking any regard for law, due process or even for his former colleagues in the Senate, will proceed to attempt to intimidate the Senators into making a mess of the process by resorting to his broken record of very poorly-packaged recriminations that they are opposed to the much touted but never occuring forensic audit of the commission, hence they are investigating his minions! Indeed, day in, day out, his laughable IMC spares no opportunity to label anyone calling for probity and transparency in the NDDC as a contractor or corrupt individual afraid of what is already turning out to be a complete joke of a forensic audit!
    The irony pertaining to the entire circus is the fact that no serious minded Niger Deltan takes Akpabio or his cabalistic IMC seriously at all. None of its members has ever been known to be an anti-corruption crusader or champion of good governance and in fact, one of its very vocal, loquacious and most unwarrantedly bellicose members used to be a board member at NEXIM Bank where he is said to have awarded to himself a huge loan of over N750 million that has neither been serviced nor repaid till date!
    The Senate Adhoc Committee charged with the probe, which will be led by the senator representing Ekiti North, Olubunmi Adetunbi, with Senators Jika Dauda Haliru, Mohammed Tanko Almakura, Abdulfatai Buhari, Chukwuka Utazi, Ibrahim Hadeijia and Degi – Eremienyo Biobarakuma Wangaha as members, is quite credible, in my humble view. Indeed, from Senator Thompson George Sekibo, who moved the motion that led to the institution of the investigation, the leadership of the Senate and the membership of the adhoc committee, many stakeholders are hopeful of a thorough, sincere, fact-based, unsparing and untainted inquiry emanating from this particular oversight effort.
