The minister lamented that the region had remained backward since 1958 in spite of successive governments’ efforts through the creation of various interventionist programmes and projects.

Lead forensic auditor, Kabir Ahmed, in a brief overview of the report, said that the team recommended managerial as well as structural changes, chief of which is the downsizing of the NDDC’s board.

The appointment of members of the board of the NDDC had been suspended until the release of the audit report.

Mr Ahmed also disclosed that oil companies in the country are still in default of their contributions to the commission.

We recommended that the government should withdraw the license of any oil company which defaults for a period of three years.

Also, deduction of 15 percent ecological fund at source and be paid to the commission because both the federal and state governments have failed to make payments to the commission.

The team recommended as a measure of effective revenue collections, the Federal Inland Revenue Services should collect funds on behalf of NDDC from oil companies in the country.
