\n
In receiving the forensic audited report of the Niger Delta Commission (NDDC), Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, completely distorted facts and figures about what transpired in the commission during the period under review, Pointblanknews.com authoritatively gathered.<\/div>\n
\n
\nMalami, who received the report on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari penultimate Thursday, said that the audit was necessitated by the agitation of the Niger Delta people who pointed out the gaps between resources invested in the region and the infrastructural, human and economic development.<\/p>\n

According to the Minister of Justice, the Federal Government between 2001 and 2019, approved over six trillion naira (N6trn) for the NDDC.<\/p>\n

Pointblanknews.com inside sources corroborated that between 2001 and 2019, the Federal Government made budgetary estimates of 3, 375, 735,776,794.93 naira for NDDC.<\/p>\n

However, \u201cOut of this amount, the NDDC received 2,420,948,894,191.00, which is about 72 percent of the total budgetary estimates for the period in question.\u201d, a departure from the presentation of the Justice Minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, \u201cIf total income is 2.4trillion and total budgetary allocations is 3.37trillion, how can anyone in their right senses add both estimates and actuals to arrive at total releases. Clearly someone is pursuing an agenda to put falsehood in the public space.\u201d The source wondered.<\/p>\n

When asked to comment on the Justice Minister\u2019s speech, the source said \u201cMy reservation over the accuracy of the Attorney-General’s figures must not be construed as an endorsement of the clear malfeasance and mismanagement at the NDDC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that we have gone beyond the stage of focusing only on the reasons that prompted the forensic audit. Those\u00a0 who truly mean well for the Niger Delta and NDDC should now be engaged in conversations around stemming the slide and turning things around for the good of all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pointblanknews.com recalls that President Muhamamadu Buhari had ordered the forensic audit of the NDDC projects since it was created after flurry of complaints about alleged mismanagement of the funds accrued to the Commission for the development of the oil rich Niger Delta region.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
