I do not think it is true to say that NADCORP always have a very minority holding. It is generally in the minority but it is not just a tiny or minimal holding. The shareholding in many of these companies is substantial and gives a significant say to NADCORP in the running of the company.
I see from going through the list that in many cases NADCORP hold 100 per cent of the redeemable preference shares in many of these companies but that of course would not necessarily give them any great control as they would not normally be voting shares. As far as the amount is concerned, I suppose one can make the case in respect of any agency or State activity that more money could arguably be spent. However, NADCORP are happily coming into a situation that they are realising some of their investments. Some of their investments have been quite profitable and out of their own resources they will have additional capital funds at their disposal which they can invest from now on.
