A civil society organisation, Niger Delta Civil Society Coalition (NSCDC) has faulted the George Uboh Whistleblowers Network for invoking the Freedom of Information Act and the Fiscal Responsibility Act to request documents on alleged financial mismanagement in the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, (NCDMB)

NSCDC urged sponsors of the George Uboh Whistleblowers Network to desist, saying there was no financial mismanagement in the NCDMB.

The group’s representative, Comrade Amechi Ogbonna, who reacted to a letter signed by the Chairman of the organisation, George Uboh, and dated February 21, 2025, expressed sadness over the move and said they had no knowledge of how things work at the NCDMB.
Uboh, in a letter addressed to the Executive Secretary of the NCDMB, Omatsola Ogbe, had requested that all documents related to allegations of approved N7.7 billion for consultancy services and over N580 million for a five-day training programme in London, UK, including logistics and allowances, be provided within seven days or face court action, protest and any legal action.

Uboh partly stated: “You have seven days to furnish the requested documents else your failure to comply shall be construed as acquiescence in which case we shall petition the requisite agencies and approach the court to compel the agencies to investigate and prosecute any culpable officer at NCDMB, stage protests in NCDMB Abuja and Bayelsa offices, among other legal remedies available to us.”
