We therefore after carefully following the performances of the Acting Executive Director Projects, NDDC, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh and other members of the Interim Board; we hereby pass a vote of confidence on him (Ojougboh) for exposing corrupt practices and correcting the wrongs in the Commission. So many leakages have been exposed in within a short period of the Interim Board”.
