Lawmakers of the House of Representatives have given Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, 48 hours to publish names, contracts, dates and amount of contracts awarded to members of the House.
The Lawmakers gave the ultimatum during plenary on Tuesday.
Recall that Akpabio said on Monday during the investigative hearing that the Lawmakers are the biggest beneficiaries of NDDC contracts.
As soon as Akpabio started implicating National Assembly members for being the awardees of over 60% of NDDC contract the panel members hushed him up.
The ultimatum is coming barely 24 hours after the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Kemebradikumo Pondei fainted during public hearing.
Pondei had fainted while being grilled over alleged misappropriation of multiply billionaires of Naira from the Commission’s coffer.
