Corruption expose @ Ministry of Education by New minister

The Housing for All Teachers, HAT, scheme is already embedded in fraud even before the commencement of the scheme as administrative fees paid by intending developers were paid into an unknown account.

The scheme, which was conceived by the Federal Government in 2007 and launched last year, was to cater for the welfare of teachers in the country.

Minister of State for Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, made the relevation in Abuja, saying the fraud was perpetrated without the knowledge of the Director, Finance and Administration, in the Ministry.The scheme was to make the teeming primary and secondary school teachers in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory become proud landlords.
Wike said: “I held a meeting with those who claimed they were building houses for teachers. If you see the amount of fraud, you will not believe it, hence they are pushing me to sign some papers on the scheme and l told them to take it easy. Then God told me to summon all these people who are applying and they all came, over 1000.

“I asked them to produce the letter they got for their award, and where the land they were going to develop was. No land. Where was the agreement that the ministry gave them? Any assignment? No agreement. Now, how do you get your money?“Meanwhile they have been compelling developers to pay some administrative charges and when I asked where was that of the administrative charges paid, they said in the bank, which bank? It was a problem.

“I called the DFA, he is seated here, and I asked where is the money being paid? For the first time, the DFA did not know that money was being paid into a different account.”

Wike, however, said all hands must be on deck to help President Goodluck Jonathan right the wrongs in the system.He said: “I am saying this because we have problems and we must help Mr. President, at least, to change in certain things that are going on.”
