NDDC: JOY NUNIEH MUST NOT SUFFER ANY HARM - RIVERS STATE GOVERNMENT
The Rivers State Government has issued a warning to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) regards the ongoing battle between the leadership of the Commission and its former Acting Managing Director, Dr. Joy Nunieh.
Recall that on July 11th, 2020, Nunieh accused the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, of indulging in various forms of corruption.
Godswill Akpabio in an interview with ARISE TV said the former MD lacks character and revealed her educational deficiencies.
On Tuesday, July 14th, 2020, the State Government released a statement signed by its Commissioner for Information and Communication, Paulinus Nsirim, showing their full support and protection to their daughter, Joy Nunieh, and warning the NDDC not to harm her.
The statement reads;
Rivers State Government has viewed with concern, the recent developments at the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in which the name of our daughter, Dr. Joi Nunieh, the immediate past Acting Managing Director of the Commission, has been dragged into.
We hereby call on those involved in the ongoing investigations in the NDDC to ensure that Dr. Joi Nunieh does not suffer any harm in the course of their undertakings.
