BEVERLY HILLS, September 02, (THEWILL) – Cairo Ojougboh, Acting Executive Director (Projects), Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC has refuted claims that the agency gave federal lawmakers money.
Ojugboh, who made this known in a statement, said he was surprised at the report by a national newspaper, titled “Senate Challenges NDDC Over Alleged Twenty Million Naira Palliatives”.
Ojougboh said he never issued nor made such a statement because there is no provision in the Commission’s budget for such payment.
He described himself as a man of peace and a soldier of truth and called on the Senate and the entire National Assembly to discountenance the report.
Ojougboh assured that the Commission will continue to work with both chambers of the National Assembly, to strengthen and enable the commission to meet its mandate and obligations to the people of the Niger Delta region
