The National Assembly has been tasked on amending the Niger Delta Development Commission Establishment Act.
A senior advocate of Nigeria, Ebun-olu Adegboruwa, made the call while delivering his keynote address at the commission’s Directorate of Legal Service retreat, themed ‘Repositioning Legal Services for Optimal Impact in the Public sector’ held in Lagos.
The keynote speaker is Ebun-olu Adegboruwa, SAN, who is calling for an amendment of the commission’s Act.
Mr. Adegboruwa says the commission’s act is replete with lapses and controversies, hence the need for an amendment.
Mr Adegboruwa argues that the amendment would help to state clearly the appointment of managing director into the commission’s board, saying that the current law only state rotation among the oil-producing states.
The retreat comes on the heel of the commission’s plan to bolster the lot of the Niger Delta.
Practitioners say this is necessary to put the commission on the right path to implementing the renewed hope agenda of this administration.
