The Federal Government (FG) has disclosed how the recovered $104 million Abacha loot was spent. The Special Adviser to the President on Social Investments, Maryam Uwais announced that the money was spent on programmes designed to address the plight of poor and vulnerable Nigerians thereby alleviating poverty in the country.

Uwais disclosed this during her keynote address at a two-day Experts’ Training and Advocacy on Tracing and Recovery of Illicit Funds and Assets organised by the Human Environmental Development Agenda HEDA, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The Presidential aide said the total amount disbursed from the Abacha loot from August 2018 to the October payment cycle was $76,538,530 and $27,099,028 from the IDA credit. She explained that the funds were sent to beneficiaries under the National Cash Transfer Programme, which is a part of the National Social Investment Programme.

On what prompted the decision to distribute the funds to the poor, Uwais said that it was decided over by a combination of the Swiss government, the World Bank and the Federal Government. This was to ensure that the funds were well utilised and not diverted to private pockets, as was the case in the past.

In December 2014, a Swiss judge gave a forfeiture order to the effect that the money ($322.5m) recovered from the family of late General Abacha would be returned to Nigeria, one of the conditions being that the World Bank would be involved in monitoring disbursements therefrom.

“Presumably, this was as a consequence of the opaqueness that surrounded the application of recovered funds.”


wais listed key achievements of the Cash Transfer Programme funded with the Abacha loot and IDA loan facility to include enrolment and payment of 620,947 beneficiaries across 29 states. She went on to express regret that there were millions of Nigerian citizens who had never felt the presence of government in their lives, adding many of them had continued to struggle to eat one meal a day.

What is my busness. I have since lost empathy for the citizens of this country. Webl are all responsible for this mess. We put ourselves in it and vehemently resist anything to change the situation.

But I repeat again. Poverty has nothing to do with resources, available or absent. It is a mental state that cannot see the way to create wealth or sustain it. Give them 100 gazillion dollars and nothing will change.

Biggest budgets ever, highest debts everz yet nothing....

When they replay their excuses in their head and also amongst themselves during their numerous meetings, does it sound plausible before they tell the public or they just don´t even bother to lie properly anymore because they believe whatever they tell us, is what we will accept?

Buhari has allowed his govt to be dragged into this lie.
The truth is that there is no Abacha loot returned. I know Abacha never looted and white supremacist would never in reality return a kobo of any money they have managed to steal from Africa.

But because Abacha defied them and refused their ruinious IMF and World Bank loans and their dictates, These white supremacist need to discredit the great General Abacha so they have to pretend that they have returned loot stolen by Abacha.
Somehow they seem to have made our govt go along with this deception.

My theory on how this may have played out, is that the white supremacist will say we are returning the money $60m but it would not be given to you directly but will pay it to humanitarian NGO operating in the country to alleviate poverty.
Of course these
NGO will never receive the money but the white supremacist global powers would insist and put it on record that the refund has been made.

This why over 21years after Abacha's assassination sponsored by the same white devils the only loot they seem to be finding to return (pretending to return) is this phantom loot they termed "Abacha's loot" which by the white supremacists' own assertion is not even upto a total $1bn , yet no Nigerian govt has ever accounted for this loot and captured in annual budget.
