if it is true that Government departments and Ministries were handed down budgets through brown envelops by the Finance Ministry then why have the DGs been sacked?

This looks like cover up to me but makes a lot of sense!

1. it explains why Buhari will not withdraw the budget because he knows all about it
2. It explains why some Ministers don't even recognise the numbers
3. It explains why Buhari will not sack the Finance Minister and Budget planning Ministers. These are the people who know the behind the scene fraud that occurred. sacking them may blow the government cover!

This government is very corrupt!

The Auditor General has just confirmed it!

there is God ooooo

I totally agree with you, the sacking is probably to stifle the dgs.

I like this, it will put politicians on there toe.

A government that has the smartest thieves in the country.

Did the sacking of the DGs change the figures in the budget?

You can only fool some people sometimes but you cannot fool all the people all the time

Buhari must withdraw the budget and start again on a clean slate

we need a leaner budget around 3 trillion naira!
