The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has appealed to International Oil Companies (IOCs) to defray the $700 million debts they owe the commission.
The Managing Director of the commission, Samuel Ogbuku, made the appeal during a virtual media tour of the commission’s projects in the Niger Delta region and sensitisation engagement with media executives across the country.
Mr Ogbuku, represented by the commission’s Executive Director of Projects, Victor Antai, said the debt spanned more than 24 years.
