Wike To Tinubu: NDDC A Mere “Cash Cow”, In Need Of Urgent Review
Nyesome Wike, former governor of Rivers state, has described the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, as a cash cow organisation that needs to be reviewed.
Wike stated this while speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of Governor Siminialayi Fubara’s N195.3bn Port Harcourt Ring Road – a 50.1km project in Port Harcort, on Monday.
Wike said: “Ordinarily, this project you’re doing is meant to be done by NDDC if it was a development commission.
“Unfortunately, what we have is Niger Delta Cash Cow. Unfortunately.
“It is a cash cow, not a development commission. Please, change that phrase to Niger Delta Cash Cow. All they do is go to a primary school; stating that they are doing a six-classroom block which nobody asked them to do.
“Everyone wants to be chairman of NDDC, Minister of NDDC, all because of cash cow. I believe our President would change what we use to have as cash cow to bring development to Niger Delta.
“I’ve never seen a region that hates itself like our region. I’ve never seen that.”
