They want to see people punished for their negative role in under-developing the region by collecting money for contracts they never executed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Obong Umanah Okon Umanah had alleged that N300billion was frittered away by the past leadership of the NDDC. This allegation and the sum involved are too weighty to be ignored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on the Lauretta Onochie-led board to set up a panel to look into what such money was used for.
