The Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) led by Prof. Daniel Pondei,
has been reinstated by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

The court said there was no time it ever sacked the Pondei-led IMC striking out the lawsuit against the IMC by the Incorporated Trustees of Forum for Accountability and Good Governance on January 13, 2021.

Recall, President Muhammadu Buhari had on December 12, 2020 directed the NDDC IMC to step aside for an interim sole administrator to take over the affairs of the interventionist agency based on the court injunction against the Podei-led IMC.

The Court however, reiterated that the NDDC IMC was never dismissed, stressing that “that there was no order for interim injunction (against the IMC) granted by this court”.

The court also ordered in suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/617/2020 that two journalists from Channels and Sun Newspaper respectively to undo the misleading news story, and tell the world the truth of its ruling.

The court based on court papers was clear that the leave sought by the plaintiffs did not amount to an injunction but a permission to sue which was allowed but now stands struck out by subsequent findings of the court in January, 2021.

It is not clear whether Prof Pondei-led IMC of NDDC will be reinstated by President Buhari since he was earlier advised by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to sack the interim managers.

Sources, however hinted that the Presidency might be working to act on the latest judgement of the court since it has been recorded.
