Nigerian Senate Finally Found Missing #49b Oil Fund by Emulti(m): 12:38pm On Jul 11, 2014
After Sanusi Claims, SENATE Committee Declares Money Not Missing5 hours agoThe Senate have finally revealed that the $49 billion oil revenue was not missing but where un-remitted funds whichwill soon be put back into the Federal Account.Former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN,Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, now the Emir of Kano, had claimed thatthe money was missing, and the Senate then set up a committee led by Senator Ahmed Makarfi to probe the accusation.In the committee’s report, the Senate rejected the notion that the money was gone, and also lamented on the FG’s plan to take away subsidy on petroleum products, saying it would be horrible for the common man.The Senate also told its financecommittee to find and study the audit reports from the Auditor General and report back immediately.SURE-P fundsIn a 21-point recommendation, the Senate asked the NPDC, a subsidiary of the NNPC: “to remit to the Federation Account $447.8 million being balance of royalty and petroleum profit tax.”“NNPC should refund and remit to the Federation Account $262 million being expenses it could not satisfactorily defend in respect of Holding Strategic Stock Reserve; Pipeline Maintenance and Management Cost and Capital Expenditure.”“The President should prepare and present to the National Assembly supplementary budget to cover the expenditure in the sum of N90.693 billion ($585 million) for PMS subsidy for 2012 and N685.910 billion ($4.430 billion)for kerosene subsidy expendedwithout appropriation by the National Assembly in 2012 and 2013.“The Senate should, however, note that the proportionate expenditure (January 2012 to July 2013) was N813.8 billion ($5.254 billion) for PMS, while DPK was N486.57 billion ($3.512 billion). “It is for the National Assembly to approve or not approve such request ortake any other measures it deems necessary.”The Senate committee demanded the NNPC should not use funds from the Federation funds without appropriation by the National Assembly.The Senate also described the poor work attitude and poor record keeping of NNPC workers who did not render returns on subsidy claims, monthly since 2012.So what do you think of Sanusi’s accusation now? Was he just trying to boost his political career?

I have no doubt that most of these senators are criminal. What are we talking about? Simple logic, the man said the money was missing because it was not paid into the federation account which they suppose to do. Today, somebody is confirming it that there is truly money that was suppose to be paid to federation account that was not paid. So if the money was not missing, where was it? Why was it there and not in the federation account? And why taking this far before they confirm their foolishness?

No source. No reference. Absolute bullshit report. Sanusi never said any money was missing. He said it was un remitted.
