Missing $20b: Mystery Over Audit Report by falconey(op): 8:04am On Dec 27, 2014
Nigeria’s most powerful Minister, Dr. Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, has refused to release the
much-publicized probe set up to investigate the
theft of $20 billion from the country’s treasury
through the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC).
In February 2014, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who is
both Minister of Finance and Coordinating
Minister of the Economy, told Nigerians that the
federal government had appointed independent
auditors to look into the books of the NNPC and
unravel the huge theft which had been exposed
by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, at that time the
governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Nigeria's minister of Fiance, Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala
Sanusi, who subsequently became Emir of Kano,
was booted out of the CBN by President
Jonathan for exposing the scandalous graft and
misappropriation of funds at the NNPC. Sanusi
also exposed the laundering of billions of dollars
in revenues that ought to have accrued to the
NNPC by shady businessmen close to the
president, especially Jide Omokore.
Okonjo-Iweala, deflecting criticism, re-affirmed
in May that the accounting firm
PriceWaterHouse had been hired to probe the
allegations and that the report would be ready
by the end of November.
On December 7, one week after that deadline,
SaharaReporters wrote to the minister
requesting a copy of the audit.
Neither the minister nor her assistant on Media,
Paul Nwabikwu, responded to the request.
SaharaReporters also contacted
PriceWaterHouse global offices in the US to
request information about the completion of the
audit and to ask for a copy. In a conversation
with Steven Silber, who serves as press contact
for PWC’s Auditing and Accounting Center for
Board Governance, Risk Assurance Services
Deals, he requested an email stating our request.
We sent that email immediately but Mr. Silber
did not respond to it.
