More ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) have refused to submit their accounts for review since President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office, an official report shows.

The poor compliance of MDAs to Nigerian laws on submission of accounts is worse in each of Mr Buhari’s first two years in office than any previous year since Nigeria returned to democracy from military dictatorship in 1999.

According to the Auditor-General of the Federation, 324 MDAs failed to submit their accounts for audit in 2016, while 215 MDAs failed to submit in 2015. In each of the 22 previous years before that, the highest number of non-submissions was 148, in 2014.

Although he did not list the defaulting agencies in 2016, the Auditor-General, Anthony Ayine, worried about the situation, stated in the 2016 audit report that “The extensive violation of statutory financial reporting obligations by Parastatals is of great concern.”

Mr Ayine’s remarks were contained in the recently released annual report of the Auditor-General for the Federation on the accounts of the Federation of Nigeria for the year ended December 2016.

The 2016 audit report is the latest by Mr Ayine’s office and was released last month.

Mr Ojo, however, says he would not put all the blame on the table of the president.

“What about the National Assembly which has oversight functions on these MDAs? When they go for these oversight functions, do they ever ask them of these audited reports? Because, you know again the office of the auditor-general is part of the government and I will tell you for free that that’s one office that has been least funded by successive administrations.

See them Masturbating, with d little commonsense they have!


All d other reports, what happened to them? Why did all our infrastructures n govt provided services then disappeared to, if d reports submitted held any value

The MDAs know, they can't get away with d kind of cooked up sh*t, they got away with.

Is not just today, that d Vice-Chancellor of Micheal Opara University of agriculture was queried

HajimeSaito:


Michael Opara University is now an MDA? MDA stands for Ministries, Departments and Agencies my dear lackwit.
Universities even in Nigeria have their own internal governance structure ( VC, Senate, etc)
Ministeries on the other hand are directly answerable to the Presidency. Even some departments and agencies (like the SSS, Budget Office) come directly under the Presidency and yet they are not being audited by Mr. "Integrity."
No wonder the Brookings Institute Report which said that poverty is on the rise in nigeria cited corruption as one of the reasons for rapid growth of poverty in Nigeria.
Zombies are being taken on a ride.

ashjay001:



Mr Dimwit, is d school not a govt funded entity?

Are u expecting PMB to personally go n audit ds entities? Did poverty resume in Nigeria in 2015 With less income, has ds present admin, not performed above expectations? If ur buffoon, truly left funds, how come he couldn't bailout states, pay contractors or even salaries?

I lack respect for wailers, cos to be a wailer shows a defect in critical thinking! That u hate an individual will not take anything away from his progress.

How many of our past presidents, has been as renowned for not being corrupt, as PMB? If he should start packing corrupt minions, how many will be left to be counted? How many amongst d present crop of Nigerians, can boast of never cutting corners or making side income at d expenses of their core duties


He who is without sin, .......


PMB is not perfect, he's just a mere human! But, he's far above d thrash we've had previously! If those fucktards, had made as geniune an effort has he is making, he would long have been retired permanently from politics! If u can't see that, then, kindly gtfo of my mentions n go find a lagoon!

HajimeSaito:


Mr Re-tard, how has your DULL-ARD hero been auditing the 19 Departments and Agencies that are directly attached to the Presidency? That report DIRECTLY to him, not even to the Federal Executive Council, but to the Office of the Presidency itself! Why is there monumental fraud going on right under his nose and he is too stupid to notice?
Your cow brained hero is less than imperfect. He is an intellectual failure who lacks the basic intelligence to understand how to pilot the affairs of a country in the 21st century.
His idiot followers will only learn their lessons when it is too late.

Lipscomb:
Premium time newspaper trying to bring this government down by all means. they have employed some forces to attacking the presidency aggressively all because of 2029 election . buhari administration is most transparency government Nigeria never had . since government have Treasury single Account the agencies don't have to report anything.

ashjay001:



If u wait by d River, long enough, u will see d corpse of ur enemies floating by.

The key is patience! My beef is ur crazy-assed nonensical out of point arguments!

Intellectual failure, bailed out 28 states Made savings from a mere $28/barrel of crude? When a drunkard of a president with a PhD n a renowned Harvard educated economist ran down an $100/barrel economy

Awon werey 100%

You have said all, if premium times was sincere it would not misquote the auditor general words when it is simply the implication of their report. Most funny is their failure to state why, why would MDAs fail to comply with the regular yearly auditing? I know of an Agency of government that auditing was suspended because it needed to comply with the new accounting system called IPSAS, hence their audit firm ceased auditing their books till they undergo IPSAS conversion process which will cause more money, they still got audited by government departments responsible for auditing but they did not undergo the required auditing by private firms which every MDA hires to audit their books on a regular basis. The fact that premium times gave half information clearly showed they want to give wailing pigs and zombies the space to speculate whatever tickle their fancy as being responsible for such non adherence. There could be willful refusal to adhere to the policy but premium times unwillingness to even name a single MDA clearly shows the intention of the entire report.
