The committee described as baseless the petition in which the allegations were made.

Addressing the press in Abuja yesterday, the chairman of the committee, Senator Ayo Akinyelure said the committee had determined that the allegation in the petition that the minister was hatching a plot to misappropriate N480 billion funds of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) was false and baseless.
