According to the spokesman, NDDC management board was suspended by the president due to corruption.
Adesina described the NDDC as an interventionist agency established to serve citizens, however, it was transformed to the private cash cow of a few people.
He said:
There’s one thing President Muhammadu Buhari hates with a passion. Grand larceny. Expropriation and purloining. Once it’s confirmed that you are filching from the public purse, you can never be his friend, no matter who you are. So he had to bring to a halt the gravy train that the NDDC had become over the years."
