In 1994, the Groundbreaking for the NDDC Headquarters was carried out - it was OMPADEC at the time.

Twenty six (26) years, and 17 CEOs later, it has fallen on President @MBuhari to COMPLETE and COMMISSION the #NDDCHQ building.

Commissioning ongoing.

“Mr. President gave marching orders that this project must be completed... It is another milestone which evidences the commitment of Mr President to the development of Nigeria, particularly the Niger Delta region.” — HM Godswill Akpabio.
#NDDCHQ
“For 15 years the rented NDDC HQ was not connected to national grid, so they can give out contracts for diesel. That became a racket on its own.” — HM Godswill Akpabio #NDDCHQ
Akpabio says when he visited the #NDDCHQ project site after he became Niger Delta Minister in 2019, he was told that no Minister - or even CEO/Administrator - has ever visited the site since 1996.

1/ For a so-called ‘accountability’ CSO, you guys can be extremely SLOPPY & IGNORANT. @nsia_nigeria—which manages the #PIDFund into which last year’s Abacha loot & this new Ibori Loot are deposited—publishes annual audited reports. Start there: 2019 report nsia.com.ng/~nsia/sites/de…
2/ Every year @nsia_nigeria - Fund & Investment Manager for #PIDFund publishes annual reports. 2020 report not out yet but will be published. What kind of operation is @SERAPNigeria running if these basic facts are not available to you?Don’t you have researchers?Are you learners?
3/ This social media Agberoism that @SERAPNigeria does is great for Retweets & clout. But it’s useless as an actual means of generating the accountability they claim to seek. It’s also a way of avoiding the real hard work. It’s LAZY, & a disservice to your supporters and funders.
