A MEMBER of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Shuaibu Gwanda Gobir, has said that the bickering between the Chairman and Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NNDC) has been hampering development in the areas the commission was mandated to serve.
Gobir, who represents Isa/Sabon Birnin Federal Constituency and is a member of several committees of the House including NNDC, said while speaking with journalist in Sokoto at the weekend that as a result of this bickering, development in the Niger Delta region was not commensurate with the substantial funds allocated to the commission.
According to him, there were no laudable projects because incomplete projects were what the commission had to show for the billions of naira appropriated for it by the House.
He expressed the hope that with the intervention of President Goodluck Jonathan and the resolution of differences between the two key officers, the development in the Niger Delta area this year would match the level of funds allocated to the commission
