Remoland Townhall Meeting: A Historic Step Towards Ending Gender-Based Violence

While the the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, NCDMB, has remained largely obscured from the general public in the South, it is hoped that working partnership between the Senate Committee on Local Content and the NCDMB will boost government revenue, improve balance of payments, reduce reliance on foreign goods and services, and stimulate job creation and economic growth.
