Oil and gas industry stakeholders have urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to investigate alleged misconduct by some Nigerian Content Development Management Board (NCDMB) staff. The call came after a meeting in Warri where the stakeholders reviewed the board's activities.

According to the stakeholders, there has been a rise in underhanded practices within the board, including over invoicing and conflicts of interest among principal officers. The NCDMB was set up to promote local content in the petroleum sector and ensure transparency in its operations. The stakeholders believe that the EFCC and ICPC should focus on curbing corruption within the board to restore public trust in the industry.
