ON NDDC FORENSIC AUDIT: IMC PRELIMINARY REPORT AN INSTRUMENT FOR COVER-UPS - THE NEED FOR LEAD CONSULTANT TO SHRED THE REPORT
The subject matter, is actually my take, which was recently published online from Port-Harcourt. It reiterated how I cautioned the lead Consultant on the forensic audit for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), to undermine the interim report handed them by the Interim Management Committee (IMC), of the commission, as the forensic audit begins.
Acting Managing Director, NDDC Prof. Kemebradikumo Pondei, while formally declaring the forensic audit started, had handed to lead Olumuyiwa Basiru & Co, a report of the IMC's verification of contracts of over 8,000 projects of the commission with various contractors to prepare grounds for the Forensic Audit for the period of 2001 to 2019.
However, I noted my reservations about the IMC's intention, which was also published in the said online report. For me, Olumuyiwa Basiru & Co., must know its corporate and professional integrity is at stake. They must completely shred the said IMC's interim report, and carry out holistic project derivation of their own. It's tool of censorship for coverups.
Since it was inaugurated through the impulsive change of guard, the NDDC IMC by utterance of its members and mind blowing allegations of financial recklessness popping up rapidly against them, has no moral justification to prepare any ground for the forensic auditors.
The IMC came onboard, playing to gallery by preempting the expected actual forensic audit, with selective indictment of influential individuals, supposedly filtering away the commission's funds through bogus contracts. Today, same IMC is facing its own bashing for alleged awards and payment for spurious contracts.
If the original mandate for the forensic audit shielded the IMC from probe, I think they have by their actions and inactions lost that privilege. They, together with Minster for Niger Delta, Mr. Godswill Akpabio, who brought them in and supervises the commission, must also now face the forensic audit.
This is one counsel the President must heed, and adjust in the said forensic audit for the NDDC, if he desires an HONEST and TRANSPARENT exercise to reform the commission from a tool of patronage, for any government in power to a true interventionist agency to revive the Niger Delta region. This is how I see it.
