The Senate Wednesday opened investigation into alleged non remittance of statutory contribution to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by some Government agencies. Senate Committee on Niger Delta saddled with the probe grilled officials of the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas and Ecological Fund Office over the claim.
Chairman of the Committee, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, told reporters that the amount due for payment to NDDC by the NLNG and the Ecological Fund Office which they allegedly refused to pay for over 16 years is colossal. He described the development as fragrant abuse of the law setting up the NDDC.
