Power Station
Components worth 34 million US Dollars belonging to the Niger Delta Development
Commission (NDDC) abandoned at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Rivers State
since 2017 was, Thursday, discovered by the Interim Management Committee (IMC)
of the Commission.
The IMC led by the Executive Director of
Projects (Ag) Dr Cairo Ojougboh, and Executive Director of Finance and
Administration, Chief Bassey Etang who upon receiving a report on the NDDC
CARGO quickly visited the Nigerian Ports Authority, Rivers for sightseeing of
the abandoned equipments at NDDC Sub-station, Ekparakwa and Ikot Ekpene in Akwa
Ibom state.
Addressing newsmen during the inspection, Dr.
Cairo Ojougboh lamented that “It is very unfortunate that since these
equipments were imported in 2017, no commission official, no MD of the NDDC
have ever come to look at it. A project we know is about 35 million US Dollars.
But the IMC will resurrect it and complete it”.
Also, head of Marketing Department Ports and
Terminal Operations, Adaku Ugochukwu said the items were components of Power
Station brought into the ports since 2017, adding that no NDDC officials came
to even see the equipments.
Earlier, the Executive Director of Finance
and Administration (EDFA) Chief Ibanga Bassey Etang wondered why NDDC items
that arrived to the Port since 2017 are still lying idle in the port since
2017.
