NDDC MD Won’t Appear Before Panel Again – Gbajabiamila
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has confirmed that the Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Kemebradikumo Pondei, will no longer appear before the House Panel investigating the activities of the Commission.
This was after Pondei fainted while fielding questions from the House Panel investigating the misappropriation of funds under his watch as the acting managing director of the NDDC.
He was immediately rushed out of the venue where the panel sat on Monday.
Speaking after the panel resumed from the break caused by the drama, Gbajabiamila revealed that Pondei has submitted a written statement and would no longer be required to appear before the reps pane.
“There would be no need for the MD of NDDC to appear anymore since he has submitted a written response.
“I wish Mr. Pondei safe and speedy recovery and I have also sent the Medical Director of the National Assembly to follow up to ascertain the condition of the MD. I, therefore, hand over to the acting chairman of the Committee, Mr. Thomas Ereyitomi to continue with the hearing.”
