In a statement, the senator said that the Committee was working closely with the EFCC to go after all contractors who in one way or the other have embezzled project funds without delivery.

He also added that the present crop of Senators would not leave any stone unturned in fishing out all corrupt officials of the NDDC who had collaborated with some contractors to embezzle the NDDC funds.

Meanwhile Governor Okorocha expressed displeasure over the treatment given to Imo State by the NDDC in the past.

He said even as one of the oil producing states, Imo State never had any tangible project from the NDDC.

“Imo State has always been side-lined in the scheme of things,” he said.

The Governor pointed out that most of the contractors sent to Imo State to handle projects always abscond with the funds without delivering the job and urged the Senate to do their findings with proper follow up and find a lasting solution to contractors and some officials of the NDDC corrupt practices.
