The Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission Interim Management Committee, Prof Kemebradikumo Daniel Pondei, has said that it did not spend N1.5bn as coronavirus palliative for staff.
Rather, he said, the committee spent N1.3bn.
The committee challenged him to provide where he derived the budgetary power to approve and spent such.
He is currently facing the probe committee but has not been able to answer the question.
