📄 Abstract
The study explores the development of infrastructure in the oil producing areas of Nigeria, 2009-2017. The documentary and survey methods were used to generate the relevant data. Data analysis was presented using content analysis and tables. Findings revealed that in spite of its clear mandate and fairly reasonable funding, NDDC has failed to resolve the perennial conflicts in the region through its programmes and projects that are not sustainable. Among others, the study recommends that the NNDC management should ensure prompt completion of audited accounts of the Commission for outstanding years. This will ensure transparency, probity, and accountability with intent to ensure strict adherence to the enabling law. The study equally calls for periodic reconciliations should be routinely undertaken on project master schedule in the Directorate of Finance and the Projects Monitoring Unit in order to ensure that the lists of projects are correctly recorded by the different departments.
