A PRESENTATION BY EFCC CHAIRMAN TO SENATE AD HOC COMMITTEE ON THE PROBE OF PTDF. In July 2003, during the first SULLIVAN summit in Abuja, the US Congressman Williams J. Jefferson met with officials of Netlink Digital Television (NDTV) and introduced them to Mr. Vernon Jackson, the Chief Executive Officer of a US based information technology company called iGate. This led to the establishment of business relationship among them.
In line with its statutory mandate, the Commission received and responded to numerous petitions against the Executive Governor of River State, Dr. Peter Odili and some officials of the State in the past several weeks. After careful investigation, major findings were made pointing to severe implications of fraud, conspiracy, conversion of public funds, foreign exchange malpractice, money laundering, stealing and abuse of oath of office.
