Newly inaugurated chair of the Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Lauretta Onochie, has accused past boards of looting money meant for the development of the region and going on a squandering spree in Abuja, Dubai, London and other places.
Onochie who lamented the state of the Niger Delta region despite huge amounts of money pumped into the Commission in the last 20 years, expressed dissatisfaction with the impact of the agency in the region, describing it as shameful.
While addressing management and staff of the Commission on resumption at the headquarters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday, Onichie said she would change the fortunes of the Commission for the benefit of the region.
