Following the N40bn corruption allegation against the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Acting Managing Director of the NDDC, Kemebradikumo Pondei, has disclosed that the sum of N1.5bn was used as COVID-19 relief funds to take care of its staffs during lockdown.

The Upper Chambers of the Nigeria Senate had on May 5, set up a 7-man adhoc committee to investigate the financial recklessness of the Interim Management of the NDDC.

While Pondei with other delegates from the NDDC appeared before the Senate Committee on Thursday, the lawmakers raised concerns over how the commission spent N40bn in the last three months without undue process.
