Senate House Queries Power Ministry Over N478m Found In Mortgage Bank by OptimistSky(m): 9:49am On Jan 07, 2021 |
The Senate has queried the Ministry of Power after it discovered a bogus deposit of N478m by the ministry in Aso Savings and Loans Plc. The money was discovered following a 2015 report carried out by the office of the Auditor General for the Federation (AuGF), and was said to be in connection with the Zungeru Power Project. The report which is currently being scrutinised by the Senate Public Account Committee, stated that the amount was meant for the compensation of persons that would be displaced to pave the way for the project execution. Part of the money, the report further stated, was for the purpose of securing housing facilities for some staff of the Ministry of Power.

They think we don't know.The same Ministry of power knows electricity tarrifs are becoming a pain in people's flesh. Nigeria swindle money amidst silient sites it's only when it comes to development that there seems to be no funds. Corruption has eaten so deep in our nerves that it's almost as normal to be financially incompetent. |
