NCDMB was not playing ethnic politics m- group

By Tare Youdeowei
Niger Delta Indigenous Movement for Radical Change, NDIMRC, Monday, said that the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, NCDMB, was not playing ethnic politics.

The board was recently accused of being biased.

But the oil monitoring group, NDIMRC, dismissed the accusation, describing the board as transparent and serving the interests of all Nigerians and fingered unnamed Lagos-based  contractors as being behind the accusation.

In a statement  by its President, Nelly Emma, Secretary, John Sailor and Public Relations Officer, PRO, Stanley Mukoro, NDIMRC gave the Board a clean bill of health, saying that the said contractors do not want anything good for the Niger Delta region.

According to the group, the board is on course and had never deviated from the Federal Government’s policy on the development of local content.

“We want to express our disappointment with the recent accusation against NCDMB. The board is on course with its mandate of developing Nigerian Content holistically.”

‘It is not true that the board has aligned itself exclusively with certain private interests and not also championing the cause of one section of Nigeria to the detriment of all others. The board is not being sectional, regional or promoting tribal interests to the detriment of other qualified parts or people of Nigeria. These are cheap blackmail, calculated to paint the board in a bad light.

“The present board appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari is doing a good job. The current Board is doing the right thing as being directed by the Minister of state for Petroleum,” the group stated.
