allocations directly to the host communities for effective management.He said with the reduction of the host community development trust

He noted NDDC should be scrapped so that the allocation given to the
commission could be directly paid to HOSTCOMS for these critical
interventions, especially after the revelations that followed the
investigative hearing on the commission.
