The Senate has set up an Adhoc Committee to investigate the operations of the Niger Delta development Commission, following allegations of a 40 billion naira fraud and arbitrary sack.

The committee is headed by Senator OLUBUNMI ADETUNBI.

The Federal lawmakers are concerned about the allegations which they say defies the very purpose for which the NDDC was established.

The lawmakers want the NDDC Interim Management under the supervision of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to account for the huge sum allegedly squandered within the last three months.
