The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) faulted Prof. Itse
Sagay’s allegation that the commission is wasting money on purchase of
vehicles.
Sagay claimed that NDDC bought over seventy cars which included
eight super Lexus that cost N70 million each and ten Toyota Landcruiser
at N65 million each.
Spokesman of the agency Chijioke Amu-Nnadi declared that no such
purchase had been made since November 4 when the governing board came on
board.
Amu-Nnadi said the Chairman, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba and the
Managing Director, Nsima Ekere and the two Executive Directors were
still using their private vehicles.
“The NDDC is only now in the process of acquiring work vehicles and
it is adhering strictly to due process.
The vehicles are five Toyota
Prado jeeps, ten Toyota Hilux trucks, four Toyota Landcruiser jeeps, one
Toyota Coaster bus and two Toyota Hiace buses.
“The commission (NDDC) has just received the Due Process Compliance
Certificate from the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) and it is
preparing the mandatory memo for the approval of the Federal Executive
Council (FEC).”
