Nyesom Wike, Patience Jonathan In N180bn UBEC
Fraud

Rivers State Governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike longside
the immediate past First Lady, Mrs. Patience
Jonathan have allegedly made away with 15
vehicles they took from the Universal Basic
Education Commission (UBEC) for his gubernatorial
campaign.
The fraudulent activities were said to have
occurred in UBEC under the watch of Mr. Wike as
Minister of State for Education.
A Lagos-based whistle-blower operating under the
aegis of Nigeria Against Corruption Group (NACG)
alleged in a statement issued and signed by its
National Coordinator Mr. Tayo Olusola that Mr.
Wike siphoned billions of naira under the UBE
program when he was in charge of the Education
ministry.
The statement reads: “Investigation conducted by
us revealed that the Rivers governor and the
former first lady, allegedly plundered over N180
billion from the UBEC purse using fronts in the
commissions office.
“Sources confirmed that UBEC programs and
contracts during the tenure of Chief Wike, were
used as a facade to loot billions of naira for little
or no work done.
“But the man who runs the operations on behalf of
Wike and directs which account and fund to
privilege is Mr. Hama, the so called SA to the
executive secretary of UBEC.
“Sources at UBEC disclosed that, “the SA tag is
just a camouflage because the man is the defector
Executive Secretary of UBEC.
“The executive secretary, Dr. Dikko dares not take
any decision or implement anything without
clearance from Mr, Hama who is one of Mr.
Nyesom Wike’s enforcers at UBEC.
“Any program or project that does not provide an
easy avenue for stealing huge sums of money does
not get any attention no matter how vital that
project may be to the educational system.”
“Some of the fraudulent schemes used in stealing
billions of Naira year in year out are:
Teachings: “Billions of Naira are stolen each year
by arrangement of bogus teaching programs in
luxury hotels where little or nothing is achieved
but billions of Naira are budgeted and wasted as
the monies finds its way into private pockets. One
of such fraudulent teachings schemes that
occurred under Mr. Wike is now being investigated
by the EFCC.
“The investigation involves the top management of
UBEC and one of the fronts used in siphoning the
money but, was not settled according to plan. In
the said case, over 100 million was siphoned from
UBEC for a fraudulent teaching program but, all
that took place was a jamboree in a five star hotel.
Vocational Schools: “Billions of Naira was
budgeted for the building of vocational schools but
in most cases not much has been done even
though huge sums have been disbursed and
vanished under the watchful eyes of Mr. Wike.
Instructional Material Funds: “This is the biggest
fraud that has been going on since the Jonathan
administration came into office. During Wike’s
tenure alone, over 60 billion has been on the
dubious supply of free text books to students, but,
actual amount of books supplied is not more than
N5 Billion and the books in usable condition out
there in the schools are not up to 200 million
worth of books.
“The free textbooks supply scheme is a perfect
cover for high yield frauds because billions of naira
is budgeted to address a need that does not exist
since parents are already providing these books
for their wards.
“So nobody is clamoring for the books and nobody
complains if they are not delivered. More
importantly there is no way of verifying whether
the supply was made since there is no standing
stock as the books are assumed to be in the
hands of the students.
“So each year the actual amount committed to
supply of textbooks is about 10-15% of the
budgeted amount, just for the purpose of launching
the scheme in the states, the rest goes into private
pockets. That is why the textbook supply is such a
favored project in UBEC because
everyone from UBEC headquarters to the SUBEBS
are settled while the student and our education
system are short-changed.
“The involvement of the former first lady and Gov.
Nyesom Wike made the textbook contractors
untouchable. So while our schools remain empty
without proper learning, the yearly pillage of
government money goes on.”
The group further called on President Buhari to
make good his promises to strengthen the EFCC
and empower it to investigate and prosecute
government officials including former ministers
who had stolen billions of Naira during their
tenure, expressing confidence that doing so the
president will recover a lot money to run the
economy of the country.
Mrs. Patience Jonathan and Mr Nyesome Wike are
not new to unholy alliance. Both joint forces during
the last general election to criminally suppress the
wish of the Rivers people as their thugs went on
rampage across the state killing and injuring APC
members.
