Massive Corruptions During Gowon Administration( UK Mp's Right) by nickyvil: 1:48pm On Nov 26, 2020 |
After listening to the UK MP Tom Tugendhat, I researched and find out Gowon tenure was full of corruption. According to Wikipedia, Gowon administration (August 1966 – July 1975) Corruption for the most part of Yakubu Gowon's administration was kept away from public view until 1975. However, informed officials voiced their concerns. Critics said Gowon's governors acted like lords overseeing their personal fiefdom. He was viewed as timid, and faced with corrupt elements in his government. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Nigeria there was no year in Gowon nine years dictatorship when the military of defense (translate to “the armed forces”) did not overshoot its approved estimates of expenditure by several million pounds sterling or Naira, without going through the inconvenient process of passing through the executive council or supreme military council a supplementary appropriation decree. The ministry of defense with the convenience, if not the active encouragement of the government, also consistently ignored the auditor-General queries concerning these vast unauthorized and illegal expenditures every year. The Nigerian government controlled the newspapers, same method this administration want by regulating and imposing social medial bills on the masses. By doing this they control and dictate what to be publish or not. In 1975, a corruption scandal surrounding the importation of cement engulfed many officials of the defense ministry and the central bank of Nigeria. The central bank was accused of corruption scandals so many times but was swept under carpet due to military regime and power Gowon administration. Lastly, From the foregoing, it would seem that the phenomenon of corruption attain a distinct and higher stage of development during the nine years of Gowon’s administration. 1 Like |
