For the NDDC, (the law says that) there shall be 19 members of the Board of NDDC. I am submitting here that there is no provision in the NDDC Act for an interim (management) committee.”This is indeed a wake-up call to the government. The argument the government makes for running the NDDC without a substantive board is spurious if not dubious. The interim management committee is not the forensic auditor and there is no special value that the members of this committee bring to the table. The federal government should do what is lawful and in line with due process and correct itself by inaugurating a substantive board for the NDDC.
