The New Nigerian Development Company (NNDC) the custodians of the funds realised in the sales of identified NNN properties to pay workers liabilities may have despised the approval for the release of the money. Almost two weeks after the approval was granted by the chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF), Governor Mohammed Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, NNDC *is and not has* yet to yield to the approval.

As a benefit of doubt, the beneficiaries have given NNDC until closing hours on Friday, 23rd of May, 2025 to do the needful as the contrary may lead to the anatomy of the whole scenario being
