**** Eighteen Federal Government’s revenue generating agencies failed to remit N526bn and $21bn into the Federation Account between 2010 and June 2015, an audit commissioned by the National Economic Council has revealed.*****



NNPC, NPA, FIRS, others failed to remit N526bn, $21bn –NEC [ audit firm, KPMG ]

Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

Eighteen Federal Government’s revenue generating agencies failed to remit N526bn and $21bn into the Federation Account between 2010 and June 2015, an audit commissioned by the National Economic Council has revealed.

The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, has therefore recommended that the affected agencies be made to refund the money.

Gombe State Governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of a meeting of the NEC presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday.

The council chaired by the Vice-President has all state governors, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and relevant ministers as members.

Dankwambo explained that the shortchanging by the agencies was detected by an audit firm, KPMG, which was contracted by the NEC to carry out a forensic audit of revenue remittances to the Federation Accounts by the NEC.

The governor listed the government agencies indicted of underpayment by the audit report to include the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Federal Inland Revenue Service, Nigeria Customs Service, Nigerian Ports Authority, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency and the Nigerian Communications Commission.

Others are the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Department of Petroleum Resources and the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, among others.

Apart from refunding the money, Dankwambo said a sub-committee would be set up to look into the details of the infringement.

He said those found to be criminal in nature would be handed over to the Attorney General of the Federation for action.

The governor said, “KPMG presented the report of the technical audit of RGAs, concluding that a total sum of N526bn and $21 bn was underpaid to the Federation Account.

“NEC’s Ad-hoc Committee which I head with members including governors of Edo, Kaduna, Akwa Ibom, Lagos states and the finance minister recommended refund of the amounts underpaid.

“Council adopted the presentations and reports of the KPMG and the recommendations of its Ad-hoc Committee including a resolution to identify instances where there appears to have been criminal infringements and forward such to the Attorney General of the Federation and the Legal Committee of the National Economic Council for further action.

“Council resolved to pursue the strengthening of the NNPC’s governance structure to prevent further recurrence of such gross underpayment by the NNPC and other RGAs.”

The governor said it was resolved that the audit period be extended to June 2017.

“One of the resolutions of NEC is to extend the audit to June 2017. So the audit will continue for the remaining agencies.

“It is NNOC, NPDC, DPR, Customs, Federal Internal Revenue Services, NPA, Maritime Authorities, all the revenue generating agencies and the details of the infringement are contained in the report. It is a voluminous report; there are a lot of items that are there.

“The most important decision that was taken is that a sub-committee will be set up which will be an arm of the legal committee of NEC that will look into the details of these kinds of infringements and make sure that those issues that are criminal and require prosecution will be handled by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.”

Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari, said the issue of whether states should henceforth determine how much is paid as fuel subsidy and not NNPC came up at the meeting.

He, however, said a final decision on the matter would be taken at the next meeting.

He said, “We are doing the nitty-gritty with the NNPC in terms of remittances. Don’t forget that the reason we got it right in 2016 on the NNPC side was that the oil prices were too low. It was easy for everyone to get fuel into the country and then make their profit.

“So, when the price started jacking up, then marketers started adjusting back because they needed to have a template of cost recovery and how they are going to make up the difference from the pump price to the landing cost of what they are importing.

“Our problem is the volume, the quantity of consumption which is not acceptable. Working with the governors, so many decisions were taken but by next month, we are going to adopt that position either for the governors to take responsibility for the subsidy in their states based on the consumption or we look at other ways.

“For instance, if you say we paid N800bn subsidy, you will ask who are we paying the subsidy to? And if you look at the infrastructure development and capital programme of the Federal Government, it is about N1.1trn, almost 70 per cent of what you are spending on developing the economy.

“If there is no infrastructure development, then you cannot talk about the development of the economy. N800bn is a huge amount that we must look at it, who is benefiting from it.

“So, we are coming up with a strategy; we are going to meet in the months of May and June. By next meeting, we will definitely come up with a position of the government at both the level of volume of what is being brought into the country and what the state and federal governments collaborate to check.”

Adeosun reported to the council that the balance in the Excess Crude Account as of May 14, 2018, stood at $1, 830, 682, 945.30.

She also reported to Council that the current balance in the Stabilisation Account as of the same day stood at N15, 725,456,963.83.

She put the balance in the Natural Resources Development Fund at N116, 104,644,763.39.

The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma, gave an update to council on the just-concluded Economic Recovery Growth Plan Focus Labs.

Udoma told members that the Labs identified 164 projects spread across the six geopolitical zones of the country.

He said the outcome indicated that over 500,000 jobs were likely to be created by 2020 and that more labs would be conducted in due course for other sectors.

Why does Sahara reporters not write about Tinubu? They are biased and this is the reason Nigerians can not support the presidential ambitions of the sowore. He only writes for the highest bidder.

This is the kind of greed I don't like..your wife is a registered nurse in the US yet you have the temerity to add her as ghost worker to the already bloated NASS payroll

And that's the problem with us .
GREED N WICKEDNESS.

YOUNGELDER1:
This are the kind of people EFcc should go after and not yahoo boys.

Yahoo boys are more dangerous to my bank accounts (including my ATM card) than this fraudster
A business started with N500,000 can be wiped out by a yahoo scam; this heist by Saraki's aide will not do that

Naija no fit better again....corruption every where...

And, someone is saying Saraki shouldn't be summoned. If I hear!!

I swear...there are folks out of job that really need that salary...this salary in some places can be 3 people's salary for a month(ask small and medium scale employers that are the true creators of jobs). My goodness, how I hate these people and their greed. At the end of the day, the income will be spent on frivolities. The greedy woman cannot even advice her husband against such wickedness. The Efcc should go after all of them...Dayuum!

Elder001:
fake story. .buhari and his cohorts are trying anyway to bring down saraki and they'll surely fail

bring Saraki down? This is time for Us the populace to take back power...at this point, it has nothing to do with apc or pdp...it has everything to do with the populace standing up to get the type of leadership needed.

These days I don't trust Sahara Reporters again.

Ghost workers...Buhari you really have a lot to investigate,these are the people you should go after and not our youths who are trying to bring back our money back into the country.

A criminal is the Senate President.

They had better check if his siblings and children are also being paid through this scheme too.

This is why Sowore will not be president. How is this Saraki's crime? Is Saraki the one in charge of National Assembly pay role? NO Was Saraki paying the woman? NO

SR should go back to real journalism. The claim is that this woman defrauded the national assembly but then she did not register as Mrs Omishore. So it is still possible that this is all junk journalism.

Saraki is supposed to supernaturally know that a staff of the national assembly named ‘Abiola Aiyegbayo! is the same person as "Mrs Omishore" his aide's wife? Common Sowore you need transmission of common sense

Ratello:


Are you suffering from cataract? If yes, visit your ophthalmologist before it is too late! If you are not suffering from cataract, you should have seen the documents nailing the fraud of a salary perpetrated by the Saraki's aide for his wife.

The document with senate stamp and seal on it ba....
Even yemi that is processing visa to UK will expertly come up with such payroll....

Lets be frank with ourselves, these documents could have raised to support her immigration purposes...

I want to see the bank statement that reflects such payment. That will confirm the payment and in addition the person who paid.

Then i can take it up

OneSentence:
she certainly wasn't put on that payroll for a paltry 150k per month. there must have been other national emoluments attached to such a prestigious office.

spot on

GavelSlam:


Since Dino's incarceration you've been slowing down in support of evil.

If u know, u know.

2017 budget, NASS shared N120 billion naira and we were complaining about their Jumbo pay. 2018, they have increased their share of the budget to N139 billion naira.
Buhari appears to be helpless here except if the masses revolt. This should be totally unaceptable...

Later they would be calling for the heads of yahoo boys, and most of these useless Nigerians would be supporting them, Amadioha kill all of una there

This is what we are saying ooooo

Sarathief

Ventura1:
To Mr integrity too, how are we sure Yusuf Buhari is also not on the payroll of NNPC or CBN, if not, how could he have afford to spend millions on power bike taking into cognizance that he graduated from University not too long.

That's possible. With Nigeria politicians, anything is possible.

However, if you have facts and documents like this thread's post it or forever shut up.

You lot will always be quick to either directly or indirectly defend corruption.

africa is cursed by God
