Show of shame as MOBIL accountant clashes with Lawmaker

  BY JOSEPH OKON
 

There was a serious tension in Ibeno last week Saturday when the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly Committee on NDDC, led by Hon Victor Udofia who was on oversight function to inspect the ongoing and abandoned NDDC projects in the state clashed with the Director of Finance of Exxon Mobil in Ibeno. 

It started as a mere exchange of words until one of the policemen attached to the Mobil finance Director threatened to shoot Hon. Victor Udofia if he refuse to allow them pass to their destination and this comment evoked the anger of the State lawmaker, Hon Udofia who promised the mobile policemen that it will be fire for fire.
