The former MD of the NDDC, Joy Nunieh, on Friday testified at the House Committee on Public Hearing via zoom.

Ms. Nunieh was billed to appear before the committee on Thursday but her house was besieged by some security agents, hindering her from making a physical appearance.

In her presentation which she made to the committee, she defended herself against allegations of corruption, arguing that there was no contractor that paid bribes.
