Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma has called for a comprehensive audit of all abandoned projects of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC that are littered around the nooks and crannies of nine states.
The Governor made this call when he received the Minister of Niger Delta Development, Abubakar Momoh, at the Government House, Owerri.
Governor Uzodimma assured the Minister who was on a working visit to the State, that his administration will continue to partner with the Ministry. He also suggested that the Presidential Amnesty Programme should be strengthened to enable the people, particularly the youths of the region, to have commensurate value from the programme.
