Sequel to claims by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, that members of the National Assembly are also beneficiaries of contracts awarded by the NDDC, the House of Representatives has given the minister 48 hours to prove his claims by publishing the names, contracts, dates and amount of contracts awarded to the defaulting members.
In a reaction to claims by Godswill Akpabio on the hijacking of over 60 percent contracts from the NDDC by members of the National Assembly, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila has demanded that the Minister, Akpabio, publishes the benefiting lawmakers within the next 48 hours.
The Speaker further requested the minister to provide the names of their companies and the specific contracts they got.
