NDDC: Group Challenges Appointment Of Interim Head

The Patriotic Youth Organisation of Nigeria has approached the Federal High Court, Abuja to declare as nullity, the appointment of Mr. Effiong Okon Akwa as the new interim administrator of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The law suit is coming barely 48 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari sacked the erstwhile helmsman at the NDDC, Prof Kemebradikumo Daniel Pondei.
In a fresh suit with case number FHC/ABJ/ CS/609/2020, the Patriotic Youth Organisation of Nigeria, told the court that Mr. Akwa’s appointment violates Sections 2, 3, 4, and 12 of the Niger-Delta Development Commission (Establishment) Act Cap N86 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
The plaintiff through their counsel, K.C. Okpo prayed the court to declare the appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari as illegal, null and void.
Also joined in the suit as defendants are the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Senate and the. Minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
