The Movement for the Survival of the Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) has called on President Bola Tinubu to remove the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) from the list of government agencies under the Treasury Single Account (TSA).
MOSIEND national president, Dr Kennedy West, who made the call in a chat with LEADERSHIP in Port Harcourt yesterday, said as an interventionist agency, the NDDC has nothing to do with long bureaucratic bottlenecks.
West said: “Federal government should excuse NDDC from TSA list in order to fastrack development. As an interventionist agency, the NDDC has nothing to do with long bureaucratic bottlenecks.
“That alone is causing a huge setback in development from the time to begin to go through one rigorous process or the other. We are sure that Mr. President will want to see that in his tenure, he solved issues of the Niger Delta and demands reasonably at least at a logical end before he leaves office.”
He restated the call for the review of the Act establishing the NDDC, saying that some sections of the Act have become a long in the wheel of progress of the commission.
