Buhari Queries Non-inclusion Of $5m In Lake Chad’s Report by adioolayi(m): 6:09pm On Oct 12, 2015 |
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday demanded explanation from the Auditor- General of the Federation, Samuel Ukura, on why $5 million released for Lake Chad study was not captured in an environmental audit report on the drying lake. The report was presented to the President at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday. According to him, the $5 million was released for the study on how to divert rivers from the Central Africa Republic to the drying Lake Chad. Speaking during the presentation of the report, Buhari said: “I have to digress here based on personal knowledge of this. I saw an article in the journal of National Geographic in 1978 that a professor in the University of London in 1925 has foreseen what we are just seeing. “I handed over the article to Gen. Obasanjo and I understand that Gen. Obasanjo took the initiative sometimes ago, it is on record that he is the only Nigerian that has presided over the country for more than 11 years. “He gave $5 million to the study, and the study was that unless some of the rivers from the Central Africa Republic are diverted to empty into Chad Basin, Lake Chad will dry up. “I understand that this report which was sponsored by Nigeria has been submitted. I am a bit disappointed that in the speech of the Auditor-General, there was no mention of this report and whether my own report was correct: that $5 million was given. “One of the recommendations was that at the time the report was submitted, the cost of diverting one of the rivers to empty into Lake Chad would be between $13 billion and $15 billion. “I will like the Auditor-General to comment on this, whether they have received this report or the Ministry of Water Resources. I think this government will like to see this report and see how we can ask our foreign friends on how they can help us.” http://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-queries-non-inclusion-of-5m-in-lake-chads-report/ |
