The House of Representative Committee on Local Content, led by Chairman, Boma Goodhead, has launched a probe into the alleged payment of the sum of $35 million, with 40 percent equity, to a company with a registration value of 10 million naira.

The Committee said the former management team of the Nigerian Content and Development Monitoring Board, NCDMB, headed by erstwhile Executive Secretary, Simbi Wabote, showed signs of alleged financial recklessness for investing a total of N14 billion naira for shares to a company one year after it was registered in 2020.
