President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked Prof. Kemebradikumo Daniel Pondei as the Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and has replaced him with an interim administrator to oversee the affairs of the Commission.
He is Mr Effiong Okon Akwa, the Ag. Executive Director, Finance and Administration of the Commission who is from Cross River State. He is to assume headship till completion of the forensic audit.
According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, Akwa is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
The development became necessary as a result of plethora of litigation and a restraining order issued recently against the Interim Management Committee of the NDDC by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
