    "content": "In many instances, entities would just write letters to the NLC asking it to acquire, on their behalf, certain parcels of land and then the NLC would swing into action and very quickly, ask the entities to deposit money for land compensation and rush through the process of land valuation. Indeed, it would proceed to carry out valuation using its own valuers. In some instances, some private valuers would be used under unexplained circumstances. More interestingly, when we wanted to look at those land valuation reports, we saw wonders. Either they were unsigned, which means nobody owned them. They were undated and in some instances they were missing and yet, money had been paid out to private persons or people claiming to own land. There was no attempt to verify whether those parcels of land belonged to the public or not. Where it was confirmed to belong to private individuals, there was no attempt to ensure that the public got value for its money in terms of the valuation. You could see a clear pattern of inflation of the values of those parcels of land."
