Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike says the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC has abandoned thousands of abandoned projects today because they were not properly conceptualised, politically awarded, or not properly funded.
Governor Wike who stated this at the commissioning of the Nigeria Police Force Special Protection Unit, PSPU, base 6, Omagwa, said the NDDC has become a cash cow for politicians for funding their electoral activities.
