Buhari Orders Forensic Audit of NDDC from 2001

In what can be seeing as bewildering, president Muhammadu Buhari has ordered a forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) from 2001.

I have ordered a forensic audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). With the amount of money the Federal Government has allocated to the NDDC, we‘d like to see the results on the ground; those that are responsible for that have to explain certain issues.

Buhari noted that the amount of money the Federal Government has allocated to the commission needs to match results expected.
While noting that the projects are said to have been done, the President said these must be verifiable as millions spent are showing that almost nothing has been done so far.

The projects that are said to have been done must be verifiable. One cannot just say billions have been spent and when the sites are visited, there is nothing to be seen as proof of work done. The forensic audit will cover the NDDC’s operations from 2001 to 2019.
