The Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio has said refuted claims of him hijacking the forensic hearing of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.

Akpabio who is currently before the House Committee on Niger Delta noted that, “Whatever we do here is subject to judicial review.”

The hearing was mandated to go on a 30 minutes break after the acting Managing Director of the NDDC, Daniel Pondei slumped while being interrogated by the Committee earlier.

Akpabio noted that only 3 contracts were awarded since he came on board as the Minister.

The House of Representatives Committee on Niger Delta began its fourth day of public hearing as it investigates alleged financial misappropriation at the agency on Monday.
