Lauretta Onochie, Chairman, Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), has declared that money meant for the agency and by extension, development of the Niger Delta, was squandered in Abuja, Lagos, United Kingdom, Dubai, among others, by people whose responsibility was to develop the region, thereby impoverishing people of the region.
Onochie, who said this following the resumption of responsibilities by the new board, expressed dissatisfaction with the impact of the agency on the region, describing it as shameful not just to the Niger Delta region but to Nigeria in general.
