The Economic and Financial
Commission (EFCC) has announced that it will soon visit projects abandoned by
the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and contractors.
Acting Chairman of the
commission, Ibrahim Magu made the disclosure when a delegation of the National
Association of Niger-Delta Students (NANDS) visited him in Abuja on Thursday.
Spokesman of the commission,
Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement quoted Magu as assuring that “we will ensure
that justice is done”.
“We will visit such projects and
ensure their completion.
“Where money has been taken, we
will go after them and recover the money”, he said.
Magu said money released for
developmental projects that had not been executed would be recovered and
prosecute defaulters.
He added that the commission will
raise a project monitoring team that will partner with states and civil society
organisations in the region to track the award and execution of NDDC projects.
He said, “We have always
solicited support from the youths. I am encouraged and you recognised what we
are doing.
“We need people like you to take
the anti-corruption message to the grassroots.”
The National President of NANDS,
Lucky Emonefe, who led the delegation described Magu as “a fearless and dogged
fighter”.
Emonefe pledged the support of
the association in mobilising the youths of the region to embrace the fight
against corruption.
