Kano — The late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, did not loot the national treasury contrary to the general impression, two military former heads of state have said.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who ruled Nigeria between 1983 and 1985, and his successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, gave Abacha the clean bill in Kano yesterday after the rememberance prayers marking 10 years of the death of Abacha, who ruled between 1993 and 1998.
Remember these news story?:
26 September, 2002, BBC News
Deal on Abacha's millions 'collapses'
Reports from Switzerland say a deal on the return to Nigeria of millions of dollars deposited in Swiss banks by the late Nigerian military ruler, General Sani Abacha, has collapsed.
Swiss Justice Ministry officials are quoted as saying the deal has fallen through because General Abacha's son, Mohammed, has not signed vital legal papers releasing the money.
The extraordinary out-of-court agreement between Nigeria and General Abacha's bereaved family was reached in May.
It was agreed the general's family could keep $100 million provided that his son signed an agreement enabling foreign banks in Switzerland and elsewhere to return to Nigeria a further $1 billion of allegedly looted money.
Embarrassment
The deal was apparently linked to the release from prison this week of Mohammed Abacha, ending his three-year period behind bars on charges of embezzlement.
Suspicions that the deal might be going awry arose on Wednesday when jubilant Mohammed was quoted as saying that - despite his release - he had made no commitment to sign anything.
Now the increasingly embarrassed Swiss authorities have acknowledged that they have received no signed papers, and therefore are in no position to hand over any of the Abacha family fortune to Nigeria.
Throughout this long affair, Nigerian President Obasanjo has faced a no-win situation.
He was condemned by one side for negotiating any deal with the Abachas.
At the same time, Mr Abacha's supporters slammed the president for detaining the general's son for so long on what they say are spurious charges
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2282366.stm
It now all makes sense.
Obasanjo had to release Mohammed Abacha because of pressure from powerful traditional leaders and Emirs in Kano, who had been lobbied by Abacha's widow Miryam Abacha.
It has now clear to me that there was now deal with Abacha family, because they had no loot in foreign accounts.
Obasanjo knew that after he released Mohamed, he had to also drop the fake legal cases in foreign countries as he does want Mohammed Abacha, to get a chance to expose their lies in open court.
Which is why Obasanjo never resumed the prosecution after he claimed Mohammed Abacha had reneged on the deal



On June 25. 2007, Nigeria received from Liechtenstein N37 billion ($227 million), another slice of the funds looted by General Sani Abacha.
“General Abacha looted about $3-5 billion from the Nigerian treasury in truckloads of cash in foreign currencies, in traveler’s checks and other means,” confirmed Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in Washington DC in 2007, in between her two stints as Nigeria’s Minister of Finance.
The $227 million, or Euro 167 million, is in addition to about $2.5 billion that various Nigerian government officials previously declared as having been recovered. The new question is the same as the old: whatever happened to these funds?
The government’s answer has usually been silence. In their more magnanimous moments, they have answered that (only) $500 million was recovered…and was “well spent.”
In an effort to head off doubters and nay-sayers, a statement by the office of the Minister of Finance last week stated that President Goodluck Jonathan will constitute an inter-ministerial committee “to ensure the proper utilisation of the (Liechtenstein) funds.”
As one who has kept close watch on how Nigeria manages these repatriated funds, I do not believe a word of this. I predict that three years from now, all of that money would have disappeared.
I predict that no project worth the name, let alone the money, will be completed, and that nobody will account for their role in the disappearance of the money.
This was always true, but it is perhaps even more so now that the current government has advised government officials that stealing is not corruption.
“The president has also directed that part of the funds be saved in the Future Generations Fund, one of the funds managed by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) to help secure the economic future of both Nigerian youths and unborn Nigerians," the government said last week, adding that the World Bank will assist in monitoring the utilisation of the $227 million “on specific projects.”
Perhaps Mr. Jonathan means well, but good intentions are the first to disappear by daybreak; and throwing the name of the World Bank around is no different from using the Peoples Democratic Party as a guarantor for a bank loan.
Given the Nigeria story, the money ought to be entrusted to an independent international consultancy for specific projects such as a network of hospitals, or major national road arteries, using open public bidding and supervision.
Outside such an approach, I predict with great confidence the $227 million will disappear into private pockets. The World Bank’s previous “monitoring” provides no reassurance; it will observe only smoke and mirrors, and then retreat into anonymity.
Let me be clear: This is not about Mr. Jonathan. It is not about Finance Minister Okonjo-Iweala. I am not accusing anyone; I am testifying only about what Nigeria’s history has taught me.
This is about accountability, which their government lacks. There is no platform upon which to persuade anyone that those funds will be spent, not shared.
In previous comments, many of them available online, I have demonstrated that the governments of Nigeria since 1998 have by their own accounts received at least $2.5 billion.
Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala has contested this, saying that only $500 million was repatriated during her time as Minister of Finance in the government of Olusegun Obasanjo. This controverts a 2005 statement she made in Switzerland during a press conference, saying Nigeria had recovered "about $2 billion total of assets.”
Switzerland alone has repatriated $700 million. Reporting the Liechtenstein story last week, the Associated Press noted: “Swiss and Nigerian advocacy groups say $250 million of corrupt proceeds already returned by Switzerland cannot be accounted for in a country steeped in corruption.”
Even if everything recovered up until last week was only $500m, what happened to it?
In a widely-circulated statement signed by her spokesman in February 2014, the Minister answered, “The recovered amount was channeled into rural projects and programmes as per the agreement with the Swiss government which repatriated the funds.
“The World Bank had written about this in a 2007/2008 Handbook on stolen Asset Recovery where the case was cited as a best practice example of how to deploy returned proceeds of looted assets.”
Apart from the fact that this particular narrative doesn’t admit that that report suspiciously coincided with the Minister’s return to the Bank, there are two problems. First, STAR clearly confirms in its report that $700m was recovered from the Swiss, not $500 million.
The report also said: “In 2001, the Abacha family and associates reached an agreement with the Nigerian government to release $1.3 billion frozen in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg in exchange for being able to keep $100 million.”
Where are all those funds?
The second problem is that even if we were to allow that only $500m was recovered from Switzerland, the Minister has only explained, “The recovered amount was channelled into rural projects and programmes…”
$500m worth of rural Nigeria “projects and programmes”? Note: nobody ever identifies where they are located, the beneficiary communities or when the projects completed.
Such questions about the past, as well as other questions about the present, continue to fuel the popular cynicism about her government. Ignoring that deep credibility vacuum last week, the government said of Liechtenstein, “The return of the funds is the culmination of a robust 16-year effort by the Federal Government of Nigeria to retrieve the funds.”
It was curious to see the efforts admitted to have spanned 16 years suddenly reduced to the intervention only of four officials of the current government. But in it emerged admission, finally, that government is a continuum. It did not sound that way last March when some defenders of the Minister demanded she be left alone as she was presumably not in office during the period some of the money was received…if it was received.
Now that we agree that government is a continuum, like life, the current government hopefully understands, finally, that you cannot have credibility without accountability. A government with nothing to hide should be able to provide simple responses to questions about key expenditures of the recent past.
Where are the projects? Where is the report?
The Jonathan government explained last week that it dropped the charges against Mohammed Abacha to permit the return of the Liechtenstein money. It is no surprise that critics described the ruse as "a celebration of corruption."
Remember that in February, the United States froze about $458m hidden by Sani Abacha in bank accounts in Britain, Jersey and France. Mohammed is wanted in the US for his alleged part in laundering some of those funds.
One of the questions is: Why did Nigeria let Mohammed go because of the Liechtenstein $227m, knowing it was risking the $458m in the hands of the US because of Mohammed?
The way Nigeria manages the recovered funds is a fascinating insight into the national crisis, as her so-called leaders ignore the obvious: propaganda is no substitute for accountability.
That is why I am convinced that the $227 million from Lichtenstein will be re-looted, and uncaring officials will cite the rural areas for the crime.
If you do not like that story as your future, now is the time to speak up. They will take the money and use it against you and the rural areas, like Chibok.

People doesn't have much concern about conservation... much has to be done about conservation education.. Mahatma Gandhi said and I quote "The beauty of a nation is not about her wealth , but about the love for Nature". National Park is always a nice place for safaris, have been to Old Oyo National Park , doing my industrial Training in Okomu National Park (Edo state) and also Kanji Lake National Park (Niger State). #TeamConservationist #TeamWildlife. #TeamUniosun. #TeamClass2016..

ASUU says universities yet to access N200b set aside for infrastructuraldevt
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may begin another protracted strike after one year the call-off the return to classroom.
Aca­demic Staff Union of Universi­ties (ASUU) on Wednesday accused the Federal Government of reneg­ing on the agreement she reached with the lecturers before calling off of the strike.
Speaking during a press briefing yesterday for one-year remembrance of the killing of former ASUU leader, Professor Festus Iyayi by the convoy of Kogi State Governor, Captain Idris Wada (retd), ASUU noted that one year after the agreement with the Federal Government, no government-owned university had received a dime from the N200 billion government said it had set aside for the revitalization of university education in the current year.
Chairman, Nnamdi Azikiwe University branch of ASUU, Comrade Dennis Aribidor, who briefed journalists alongside members of his executive and some senior members of the chapter lamented that the issues that prompted the strike were yet to be addressed in the universities and government had as usual, kept mum.
He said, “It seems Iyayi’s death opened the pandora box that suggests that ASUU’s relationship with government might seem irreconcilably hostile. While he fought for a just cause, ASUU is presently skeptical that he died in vain especially since the conten­tion over honouring the ASUU-FG 2009 agreement, which cut his life short, is still far-fetched. This position is based on some hard truths,” he noted. “No government-owned university (federal or state) has received funding to improve the teaching and learning conditions from the N200 billion earmarked for revitalizing of university education in 2014. No university (federal or state) has received money to pay arrears of earned allowances owed staff from 2009 – 2013 as agreed with government, apart from the 30 per cent released during the strike.”
Aribodor spoke further, “the most funda­mental problem bedeviling the educational system in Nigeria is that it is located within a philosophical and political economic system which emphasizes personal self-enrichmentand individual aggrandizement instead of emphasizing knowledge acquisition geared towards public good and national develop­ment.”
“Nigerian educational system is character­ized by chronic underfunding, bad leader­ship, infrastructuraldecay, poor conditions of learning and service, promotion of mediocrity, shortage of personnel and entrenchment of orthodoxy, parochialism and chauvinism,” he stressed.
The ASUU boss insisted that ASUU would continue to reject “the ongoing systematic privatisation of education and selling off of public educational institutions. Education is a public good and should not be left in the hands of private individuals who are driven solely by profit motives.”
Also speaking, the Coordinator of the Ow­erri Zone of ASUU, Professor Ike Odumegwu accused government of frustrating efforts by ASUU to ensure that the killers of Iyayi were brought to book, saying, “The Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, took note of how Iyayi was killed, but nothing has been done. Our lawyers took the matter to court and it has been one adjournment after another.
