President Buhari orders the audit of 400 Niger Deltaprojects
An audit committee has been ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari to audit 400 projects that were awarded between 2009 to 2015 by the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.
The audit is to ensure that there is value for the over N450 billion so far released for the projects in the nine oil producing states.
This announcement was made by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Uguru Usani, at a news conference in Abuja, where activities of the ministry in the past two years were also reviewed.
He explained that the audit report would provide firsthand information on the over 400 projects as well as convince the president to approve the supervision of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by the Ministry to avoid duplication of duties, adding that it was regrettable that the percentage of job done on the projects stood at only 12 per cent.
However, the Minister did not give details of the actions the government would take against contractors who collected various sums of money but failed to deliver.
