President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the recomposition and inauguration of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission.
He disclosed this in a statement through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, which reveals that the supervision of the agency will continue under the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.
President Buhari also directed that the interim management team will remain in place until the forensic audit of the commission, which he ordered earlier in the year, is completed.
The board, which was screened by the senate in October, has not been inaugurated by the president, a situation that has lead to controversial reactions from groups in the Niger Delta.
