The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Umana Okon Umana, has denied having divergent positions on the implementation of the recommendations of the report of the Forensic Audit into the operations of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Umana in a statement said he was reacting to a news report published in a national daily (Not The Guardian) on Thursday, 11 August 2022, which claimed that he was having a divergent position with President Muhammadu Buhari on issues concerning forensic audit.
