We gave #100 Million Each to Niger-Delta governors as Covid-19 Palliatives - NDDC Exposed

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has said that it gave each of the governors of the nine oil-producing states N100million each as COVID-19 palliatives.

 NDDC officials reportedly made the claim while appearing before the Senate Committee on Ethics Privileges and Public Petitions.

 Chairman of the Committee, Senator Patrick Ayo Akinyelure told reporters that the Senate may summon the governors to testify on how the money was spent.

 Akinyelure who added that the NDDC Sole Administrator must appear before it or risk an arrest warrant being issued against him over non-appearance, added that the money given to the Governors is part of N6.25 billion allegedly expended by the NDDC on COVID-19 palliatives.
