A political scientist, Isuwa Dogo, has
questioned the rational behind the letter
of the Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Lamido Sanusi, to the
Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan,
alleging that the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has failed
to remit $49.8 billion into the Federation
Account.

Dr Dogo said that the letter was not
necessary, as the CBN governor had
unlimited access to the NNPC’s
management.

“The letter was a deliberate attempt to
ridicule the NNPC when there is no
reason for that,” he said.

Speaking on Channels Television’s
breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Dr.
Dogo wondered why people are adopting
the use of letter in tackling issues that
dialogue would have resolved.

Hidden Agenda

“If a letter is written and everything there
seems to be absolutely out of the reality,
then there is a hidden agenda which
Nigerians should find out”.

Mr. Dogo disagreed with the CBN’s
reason for writing the letter and
questioned why the apex bank waited for
’18 months of non-remittance’ before
writing to President Jonathan.

“If that is the case, the CBN is only
indicting themselves which has shown
that they are inefficient and ineffective by
waiting for 18 months before bringing up
an issue as important as this,” he
pointed out.

He also stated that there was no place it
was mentioned in the letter that the CBN
had contacted the NNPC in respect to the
un-remitted funds without getting any
response.
