Port Harcourt, Nigeria –The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has categorically denied allegations of mismanaged palliative distribution in Cross River State, calling reports of unfair allocation and the use of unauthorised beneficiary lists “false and mischievous.”

In a press statement issued today by NDDC Director of Corporate Affairs Seledi Thompson-Wakama, the commission stated that palliatives, rather than cash, were distributed fairly across all nine mandate states, including Cross River, with recipients expressing joy and gratitude.

To support this commitment, the NDDC hired KPMG, a global business consulting firm, to review and strengthen its corporate governance, internal processes, and institutional protocols, resulting in a new institutional culture based on sound ethics and good corporate governance.

The NDDC reaffirmed its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasising its collaboration with development partners and state governments to build a “socially stable, economically prosperous, ecologically regenerative, and politically peaceful” Niger Delta region.
