The committee also summoned the Managing Director of the commission Professor Kemebradikumo Pondei to appear before it on the same day after walking out on lawmakers at an investigative hearing put together by the House of Representatives.

This comes after the former MD of the NDDC, Joy Nunieh, on Friday gave her testimony at the House Committee on Public Hearing via zoom.

In her presentation which she made to the committee she defended herself against allegations of corruption, arguing that there was no contractor that paid bribes.
