On 26 August 2019 the House of Representatives referred to an ad hoc committee on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), chaired by Nicholas Ossai (PDP, Delta), allegations that contractors had abandoned capital projects in Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta and Rivers states. The committee summoned ministries, the NDDC, the CBN, the EFCC, the ICPC, state governments and contractors, and held a public hearing, but the probe stalled.
