He narrated that some of the officials were pocketing the
money meant for schools feeding programme in the state.
According to Usman, at the beginning of the programme,
1,203 public primary schools were captured as benefiting
schools.
“After due process of vetting, the committee discovered
that 349 of such schools were actually ghost schools, with
some officials pocketing the money meant for feeding
these schools,” he stated.He, however, maintained that
following the discovery, top ministry officials in Abuja
called for the removal of Nasarawa State from the scheme
but the decision was rejected in order not to punish the
poor children that would benefit from the scheme.
He further explained that two key officials of the
programme in Nasarawa State, the state programme officer
and the consultant were suspended and replaced.
He aappreciated all the relevant stakeholders including the
National Orientation Agency (NOA), National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC), National Bureau for Statistics (NBS), the
state Ministry of Education, amongst others, for making the
work of the committee a success in Nasarawa State.
He particularly applauded the governor for his cooperation
and support while also recognising the contribution of the
state focal person, Mr Imran Usman Jibrin, Senior Special
Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Humanitarian Services.
He then rated Nasarawa State as the best
supportive state in the country, with the
team in the state also rated the best in
the country.

We are just terribly corrupt as a people! News like this just breaks the heart!

No other gist except corruption and no one is ever brought to book.
349 ghost not pupils o. A school as about 200pupils or more. Don't even try to do the maths, you will be overwhelmed by the level of corruption. In Nigerua for that matter. It says alot

What do you expect? That scheme was a way to drain funds into private pockets,

Corruption in Nigeria is so deeply rooted.

Good people like us no reach 5


It's sad though, and sadder that it isnt even going to get better(atleast not anytime soon).

Just as ghost schools in the feeding programme are discovered so also ghost arrest will be made and ghost prosecution too.
