Senate Investigates Job Racketeering in NDDC

The Senate has commenced investigation of alleged job racketeering rocking the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC.

Senate Committee Chairman on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, Ayo Akinyelure said the petition before his Committee had accused the former Minister and immediate past Management of NDDC of deliberately denying job seekers opportunities to work in the Commission even after meeting with all the requirements.

The seven job seekers were offered appointment letters, but upon documentation, they were denied and claimed in the petition that they ran into trouble with the interventionist agency because they all hail from Ondo State.
