The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has appealed to the Federal Government to release the report of the forensic audit carried out on the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
Mr Wike made the call during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, July 4, while speaking on the performance of a former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, as a Minister of Transport under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
He claimed the report was shelved to protect those who might be indicted in any form of fraud.
The forensic audit initiated by the Federal Government in 2021 investigated the financial transactions and project implementations of the commission from its inception in 2001 to August 2019.
It aimed to identify mismanagement, misappropriation of funds, and other irregularities.
