Nunieh also revealed how Akpabio had allegedly awarded himself 30 contracts on assuming office as the minister of Niger Delta Affairs.

Meanwhile, the Niger Delta Affairs minister on Friday denied requesting and executing NDDC projects worth N500 million.

Akpabio also denied allegations that about N40 billion was managed by the Interim Management Committee that took over the affairs of the NDDC after its board was dissolved.

The minister had appeared before the Senate ad hoc committee probing the alleged misappropriation of funds in the commission.
