Senator Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs has made it known that Joy Nuneih, former Managing Director of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) was not sacked for Corruption but for Insubordination (Disobedience).
He said:
“She was not relieved of her appointment because of corruption. She was relieved of her appointment because of Insubordination. “
“My Ministry, which supervises her, wrote seven letters to her but she never responded to one.
However, there was a petition from the late Chief of Staff to the President saying that she didnt have the needed qualifications to serve as an acting Md of a Commission.
He said Nuneih was sacked because she didnt have the compulsory NYSC ( National Youth Service Corps) discharge certificate.
“There was no record exit either in Kwara or national headquarters to prove her participation in the scheme and we wrote her to explain the findings but she never responded”
