Abandoned NDDC shoreline protection project in Opokuma and Kolokuma, Bayelsa State

On a motion by Oforji Oboku (PDP, Bayelsa), the House of Representatives resolved to investigate the abandonment of the shoreline protection project in Opokuma and Kolokuma, Bayelsa State, awarded by the NDDC in May 2004 to Jide Agboola of Dredging Atlantic Ltd. The motion said the abandoned project had left ten communities exposed to erosion and that Ayakoroama community had been washed away. The Committee on NDDC was given four weeks to report.
