N3bn fraud: ICPC freezes SURE-P directors’
accounts, seizes vehicles

The Independent Corrupt Practices and other
Related Offences Commission has begun a probe
into the activities of directors and senior officials
of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment
Programme.
It was learnt that the ICPC had frozen the
accounts of some of the officials while some
vehicles had been seized from them.
SURE-P was set up by the government of former
President Goodluck Jonathan in February 2012
after nationwide protests followed the hike in the
prices of petroleum products.
The programme was scrapped by President
Muhammadu Buhari in November last year.
The SURE-P was mandated to convert saved fuel
subsidy money to jobs, roads and other people-
oriented programmes but became political during
the build-up to the 2015 elections.
A source in the ICPC told our correspondent on
Wednesday that the probe started after the
commission received information that huge funds
were embezzled by the officials.
The source added, “We have frozen the bank
accounts of some of the officials while we have
started seizing some vehicles from them. Our
plan is to seize about 200. Presently, we have
seized about 30.”
Our correspondent, who visited the ICPC on
Wednesday, counted about 34 vehicles parked on
the premises of the commission.
Some of the vehicles included Sport Utility
Vehicles, Hilux vans, salon cars and ambulances.
Our correspondent learnt that the probe was in
connection with a N3bn fraud allegedly involving
the Federal Ministry of Finance and the SURE-P
Graduate Internship Scheme.
The money, it was learnt, was meant for the
payment of the participants.
It was gathered that the money was meant to pay
the allowances of 17,500 participants for eight
months, which never got to them.
The SURE-P GIS is a component of the SURE-P
domiciled in the Federal Ministry of Finance.
The immediate past Permanent Secretary of the
Ministry of Finance, Mrs. Anastasia Nwobiala, is
already in court over the Nigeria Immigration
recruitment scam, which led to the death of about
20 graduate applicants.
Also, about N4.9bn was said to have been
extorted from 51,000 applicants, recruited as
Federal Task Force officers for the protection of
the SURE-P/Federal Road Maintenance Agency
projects during the build-up to the last elections.
The aggrieved employees, in a petition, said they
were forced to purchase the FTF forms, which
were supposed to be free at the rate N30,000
each despite their impoverished situation, only to
be employed, used and abandoned.
The petition reads in part, “We wish to cry out and
seek for your urgent help over the fraudulent
extortion from us and dehumanisation of our
lives under the SURE-P/FERMA employment
programme, named Federal Task Force by the
above-listed names and other officers (Directors)
on the following pretences and tricks.
“We were recruited and employed for the past
three years without any training allowances; no
salary and other allowances were paid to us.
“We were mandated to pay for the Presidency
SURE-P/FERMA Task Force forms.
“We bought the forms with inscription ‘NOT FOR
SALE’ boldly written on it at an average amount of
N30,000 each.”
Some of the task force commanders have since
fled the country.
A former Chairman of SURE-P, Christopher
Kolade, had said last year that he resigned his
position in 2013 because its operations were
becoming tainted with corruption and politics,
thereby losing its credibility.
He said some officials of the administration of
former President Goodluck Jonathan were
practising “something that was lower than the
transparency” expected of an interventionist
agency like SURE-P.
He had stated, “When I discovered that there
were individuals in the system that were
practising something that was lower than the
transparency that we went in with, I raised the
issues; and I discovered that political affiliations
and things made this difficult.”
The former SURE-P boss cited an instance when
the agency decided to employ 5,000 youths from
every state of the federation.
According to him, when it commenced, he
informed the Presidency that the arrangement it
adopted was not acceptable but he was
overruled.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the ICPC,
Mrs. Rasheedat Okoduwa, said she could not
comment on the matter.
