President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has been advised to scrap the Niger Delta Development Commission and the North East Development Commission for allegedly taking advantage of the masses.

Isah Abubakar, National President, Northern Youth Council of Nigeria and Chairman, Nigeria Citizen Action Group, in a statement issued on Monday in Kaduna, said, “We advise that Mr President to as a matter of urgency immediately scrap this two commission so as to stop few from taking advantage of the masses.”

He also advised the government to merge agencies, Ministries and commissions to cut costs and reduce corruption.

The statement suggested that the Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio should voluntarily resign his appointment to enable proper investigation of the entire ministry and Commission.

It noted that from available indications and reality on ground, the two commissions are no longer serving the purposes of fast tracking developments but rather served as avenues to loot the regional resources by a few.

“With the audit of the Niger Delta Development Commission one will not hesitate to say that if a similar committee is set to investigate the North East Development Commission, both will have little or no difference. The two commissions are never needed if all government agencies are very proactive, effective and transparent in their responsibility.

“It’s a fact that from 2000 till date, over 20 Trillion Naira have been looted in NDDC alone; this quantum amount of money can transform a Nation not Region. Only 1.1% of the total population of that region benefit from this corrupt setting of government,” the statement explained.

This is an evidence that we need go back to regional governance if we want to develop however, it isn't through this fraudulent commissions.

These commissions will not achieve any development and would be used as a looting channel since it is dual allocations. We cannot allocate money to state governors and also a joint commission, it is a waste of resources.

Scrap what? Why don't they tell Buhari to scrap the North because of Northern Boko Haram, Bandits and killer Fulani herdsmen militias that have been destroying the peace and resources of this country too? Scrap NDDC keee una dia. The solution is to divide Nigeria, let every tribe take their destiny into their own hands, let every tribe hold itself accountable for the God-given resources on the God-given lands. Restructuring sef na scam

And who are benefitting from it? the same North

Scrap it but that takes the matter back to central corruption again.NDDC, NNPC, DPR, FIRS etc are all cash cows for horrendous corruption in Nigeria today.

When will you ever be objective on comments....

Your personal hatred for this government is making you sound empty...

Scrapping development commissions is a typical response of the weak to a strong challenges: run away.

The way to make progress and develop is to gather eggheads to CRITICALLY review the operations of development commissions vis-a-vis the shortcomings and corruption and then innovate on better ways to operate and achieve organizational objectives.

In fact, consistent periodic review of operations of government departments and agencies for continuous improvement in operations and efficiency should be a key part of governance.
