GROUP PETITIONS EFCC, SEEKS PROBE OF
NYESOM WIKE OVER ALLEGED EDUCATION
FRAUD:
The group wants the anti-corruption commission to
investigate its allegations.

The Civil Society Network Against Corruption
(CSNAC) has petitioned the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, over the alleged corrupt
practices of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of State for
Education.

The petition also urged the commission to
investigate Ahmed Mohammed, former Executive
Secretary of the Universal Basic Education, UBEC.
During Mr. Mohammed’s 12 year tenure as
Executive Secretary of UBEC and National Teachers
Institute, NTI, the duo mismanaged over N50 billion
fund allocated to primary education, the group said,
quoting a 2012 article by an online publication (not
PREMIUM TIMES).

The report also indicted Ruqayyatu Rufai, the
Education Minister, according to the petition signed
by Olanrewaju Suraju, CSNAC’s
Chairman.

According to the petition, while in NTI, Mr.
Mohammed appointed his wife Aishatu, as principal
consultant, and through the position
mismanaged over N3.3 billion from the Millennium
Development Goals (MDG) grants assigned to the
office.

“The contract for the building of Almajiri schools and
supply of textbooks was alleged to have been
allocated to the front of Chief
Wike, which is clearly in conflict of interest with
regards to his position as Minister of state at
Federal Ministry of Education.

“Mr. Wike also allegedly coerced principals of
federal government colleges across the country to
remit 40% – an increment from 15% – of their
allocated funds,” the petition said.

“This implies that out of the N16,706,314,319.00
quarterly allocation to federal schools in 2012, a
return of about N6.68billion naira went to Mr. Wike,”
the petition added.

“By virtue of his position as Minister of State at the
Ministry of Education, Mr. Wike manages all the
Federal Government Secondary
Schools and its within his authority and power to
discharge and transfer school principals (he can
sack them without pension or access
to other accumulated gratuities).
“With the awareness of the power Mr. Wike wields,
the principals are afraid to blow the whistle for fear
of losing their jobs.”

The group noted that Mr. Wike, while serving as
Chief of Staff of Rivers State government, was
arrested by the EFCC over allegations of
embezzlement and money laundering of over N2.5
billion.

“The details of the prosecution are yet to see light of
the day,” it said.

CSNAC urged the anti graft agency to carry out a
“thorough investigation” of Messrs Wike and
Mohammed and prosecute them if found
culpable.

"Both (Mr. Mohammed) and Mr. Wike are known to
spend lavishly and own properties worth billions of
naira. These men have been public officers all their
lives and it is irreconcilable the kind of lavish
lifestyles otherwise displayed by this officers,”
CSNAC continued in their petition.

“Education is the cornerstone of the development of
any nation. Where funds appropriated to these
institutions of learning are allowed to be
misappropriated and the offenders left to go scot
free we are inevitably building a nation where
illiteracy and underdevelopment
will thrive.

“The recent Boko Haram crisis is traceable to the
dearth of basic education as one of the causal
factors.”PREMIUM TIMES
