The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has debunked rumours that it spent N9.9 billion on consultancy services, saying its operations are transparent.

NCDMB, in a statement by its Corporate Communications Department, wondered how promoters of the allegation increased the figure from N7.7 billion to N9.9 billion within a week.

The statement, however, clarified that in all its transactions due process was followed and all expenditures were approved with financial and procurement guidelines.

The statement reads: “The NCDMB wishes to alert the public that a sponsored group, CCSGG, masquerading as a coalition of civil society group for good governance are recycling the same bogus and unfounded allegations that were recently published against the operations of our agency.

“While we have dismissed these patently false allegations in a widely circulated press statement on Thursday, February 13, titled: ‘NCDMB Observes the Highest Standards of Accountability, Transparency, and Due Process in its Operations’, the purveyors of this evil campaign have gone ahead to recruit unsuspecting journalists across some national media to continue to peddle their lies.
