NCDMB refutes report of alleged financial infraction

The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), has refuted recent online reports alleging financial infractions within the organisation.

The organisation described the claims as entirely false, malicious, and misleading, stating that they are part of a deliberate attempt to smear its reputation and distract the Board from its mandate.

In a statement on Tuesday, the organisation reaffirmed its commitment to integrity, professionalism, and transparency in carrying out its duties.

NCDMB said executive secretary, Engr. Felix Ogbe, is focused and committed to the highest level of integrity, patriotism and professionalism in the discharge of his duties and honest leadership of the Board in line with its core mandate and objective.
