The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has walked out on lawmakers at an investigative hearing set up by the House of Representatives.
The NDDC had refused to make presentations before the House Committee.
According to the Acting Managing Director of the Commission, Professor Kemebradikumo Pondei, it cannot partake in an investigative hearing which is being presided over by the chairman of the committee who has been accused by the NDDC of hijacking the Commission’s projects.
Professor Pondei was of the opinion that the NDDC will not get a fair hearing.
Meanwhile, following the NDDC’s action, the committee resolved to issue a warrant of arrest compelling Professor Pondei to appear before the lawmakers and make a proper submission.
