Senate to summon IOCs over non-remittance to NDDC

Senate Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) on Thursday decried the non-payment of funds owed the commission by International Oil Companies (IOCs).

The Chairman of the Committee, Sen. Asuquo Ekpenyong, who spoke at an interactive session with the management of the NDDC in Abuja, said the committee would summon IOCs that had refused to make remittances to the commission.

He said: “It seems as though the NDDC has a revenue issue, revenue issue because the IOCs and the Federal Government are not remitting what they ought to.
