 The contractors under the umbrella of the Niger Delta Development Commission ended a C Indigenous Contractors Association having the past six days taken over the premises of the commission in protest are frustrating all official activities. Take a listen. The contractors who are of Niger Delta origin with placards bearing different inscriptions noted that all attempts to get their pay have proven abortive. President of the Association Andrew Ejegwai regretted that the contractors for over five years have not been paid for the services rendered to the commission describing it as an act of wickedness. For the past four years we have been waiting for our payments giving us all sorts of excuse but to not avail and as it stands now we cannot longer afford our children's trophies. We collected most of this money from financial institution and we use our houses as mortgage. Now the banks are now collecting our houses back. We have pleaded, we have gone to Abuja, we have gone everywhere but to no avail. Also the Director of Board of Trusty of the Association Victor Fakar noted that if the commission had in mind to clear the debt that have done so at his but that the NDDC was not committed to paying the debts. Knowing thing about it all is some hoodlums, paid hoodlums came to come and like scatter the point where we are and it's not acceptable but we'll see continue this protest. I did a contract in Abuja State and as I speak to you NDDC have taken glory for that. NDDC went on a channel television show the particular project I did and they've taken glory for that but up till now the contractors have not been paid over going to five years now. The loss have been happening and people have been suffering. We are begging aqua. We have met him separately exhausted all means to see that the dialogue with the contractors to pay them but it's not available. Please we are begging aqua. You know that when there is no peace in the society the women they are the peacemaker and we are here to make peace. And the only thing we are asking the NDDC aqua and the Honorable Minister for Niger Data Fair to pay our contractor to pay the contractors. They have worked just like 11 of them they have worked. You can see women these women most of them are their husbands and they are crying at home. They called on President Mohammed Bahari an all-well mini Nigerians to intervene.
