However, his PR consultant, Jimi Disu, says Adeola "believes that he has done enough to stabilise the place and get the committee going and he has moved on,”

Reports suggested that Mr. Adeola’s resignation may be connected to some untoward happenings within the committee.

“All kinds of things happened there that he just wants a quiet exit. He doesn’t want to get into any trouble,” a source said.

The committee which is made up of notable business moguls, politicians and civil servants in the country had the mandate to raise N50 billion overshot its mandate by nearly N10 billion.
