Abacha Loot For Sharing.. How True by simpleswazy(m): 4:10pm On Oct 20, 2018 |
The President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is hoping to pay
the next batch of Abacha loot directly into the accounts of poor
Nigerians.
The Federal Government is making final preparation to disburse $322
million fund repatriated from the accounts of former Head of State, late
General Sani Abacha in Switzerland to Nigerians.
The National Coordinator of the Open Government Partnership (OGP),
Nigeria and Special Assistant to the President on Justice Reforms,
Juliet Ibekaku-Nwagwu disclosed this recently in an interactive session
with newsmen.
Ibekeaku-Nwagwu said under MoU with Switzerland the funds would
be paid directly into the accounts of the poorest Nigerians through their
various accounts for two years and identification numbers to be made
available on the website being developed by the National Social
Investment office and the World Bank.
She solicited the patience of Nigerians, explaining that the agencies
working on the modalities would brief the public on June 28, adding
that the process for the payment will be transparent for civil society
and the media to monitor.
She said despite oppositions against the MoU from within and outside
government, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar
Malami (SAN) and his team have pursued President Muhammadu
Buhari’s agenda of ensuring that the $322m was returned for
deployment in the social safety nets project, which would make
targeted transfers to the poor and vulnerable households.
“The poorest members of the community will be registered online, and
before you make any payment, they must have an ID number so that
every payment would be tracked. No amount will be paid out without a
joint signature between Nigeria and the World Bank and without
identification of individuals,” she said.
Ibekeaku-Nwagwu said President Buhari’s commitment to the Open
Government Partnership during the London Summit in 2016 has
enhanced transparency and accountability in government budgeting and
contracting, adding that “If there is anything we have achieved its
about getting Nigerian citizens to become conscious about what is
happening with their money.” |
