The federal Government should strictly be the watch dogs on both staff of the NACRDB as well as the officers of co-operative societies.
The researcher highly appeals to members of the public in general and co-operative societies in particular that NACRDB loans are like other loans which must be loans meant to help them must never be seen as their own share of the “National cake” The attitude must be discarded.
