COVID-19: How NDDC handlers looted Coronavirus fund

From Fisayo Soyombo

On April 6, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) awarded a N4.9billion contract to ‘Osmoserve Nigeria Limited’ for the emergency procurement of medical consumables and equipment, including PPE, for use in “testing, treatment and care of COVID-19 cases”.

Seven weeks after, there is no Niger Delta state where healthcare workers aren’t complaining of PPE shortage. 

To be more specific, there has been no noticeable increase in the availability of PPE to healthcare workers before and after the award of the contract.
