Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the report by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) that the N2.67 billion released to the l04 unity colleges during the COVID-l9 lockdown for meals was allegedly diverted to private accounts.
He said the enquiry was to establish the veracity or otherwise of the claim and ensure probity. Director of Press and Public Relations in the ministry, Ben Goong, who made the disclosure yesterday in a statement, said: “In response to queries issued by the Federal Ministry of Education, the principals explained that payments on meal subsidies to unity colleges on the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GlF-MIS) platform are designed to accommodate individual officers of those colleges who are officially recognised to receive such payments, and disburse same to food vendors.

“This followed difficulties encountered by farmers, local food vendors and market women who do not have Tax Identification Numbers (TINs), PENCOM and other requirements to access the payment platform.”

He added that the school administrators equally clarified that the funds were used to offset debts arising from irregular and inadequate allocations and releases over the years.

“To this end, the ministry in line with the minister’s directive is to collaborate effectively with officials of the ICPC to unearth the fact, as well as find a lasting solution to the payment system for meal subsidies to ensure accountability and transparency,” the spokesman added.

The truth is that Nigeria is too corrupt. The painful thing is that we can not trace where the corruption started from.

It came from us, we need to change ourselves before the country will change

You cant just tell us 2.62bn diverted by school without sorting the bad eggs and encouraging the good.

Why not create competition by dividing the feeding analysis in regions/states, let's see the state/regions that squandered the feeding money for children alongside the schools and its principals, let them defend themselves publicly while the parents take note. who knows, maybe the funds never even got to them.

Transparency is the antidote for corruption.

Stories upon stories
Useless fools!

Exercise in futility

Unfortunately Barawo Bubu and his Association of Past/Present Criminals, APC rogues are too dull to understand that, and so corruption and stealing gets worse under his integrity watch..

Corruption is getting worse in Nigeria, according to the latest corruption perception index (CPI) released by Transparency International (TI) seen by TheCable.

While the country scored 27/100 and was ranked 136th in 2016, the latest CPI scores Nigeria 27 with a rank of 148 — a significant 12 places below where it was the previous year.

This will come as a blow to the President Muhammadu Buhari administration who came into office on the strength of his anti-corruption credential.

Although the administration has put many suspects on trial and seized assets of politicians and government officials, it has also been accused of condoning corrupt practices by top government officials.

The index, which ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption in the opinion of experts and business people, uses a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean, according to TI.

Racoon:
There is no one in the Buhari regime who isn’t stealing astronomical amounts of money and luxuriating in epicurean pleasures while the vast majority of the people slide deeper into punishingly crushing poverty. The only "honest" person in the regime is the uncaught one.

An emergent & increasingly defining feature of the regime is that its honchos entertain the country with whirlingly blinding accusations & counter accusations of eyewatering corruption against each other.

Abubakar Malami says Ibrahim Magu is an unconscionable “relooter” of recovered loot,while Magu says Malami is a worse crook than he is.And that in addition to his crookedness, he abuses his position to featherbed his corrupt friends.

From the Ministry of Power to the Ministry of Works, from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to the Ministry of Finance, from the NSITF to the NDDC, from the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) (where N100 billion “vanished in one year”) to everything in between, corruption is prowling menacingly unchallenged.

People who made pious noises about probity and morality, who rode to popularity on the strength of their preaching against the comparatively smaller corruption of past administrations, are now neck-deep in the nadir of some of the worst forms of venality we have seen in the country.

Now people are desensitized to news of corruption. Everyone has concluded that the Buhari regime will go down in the records as the most malodorous manure for corruption in Nigeria. Most people think it’s ironic that corruption is thriving profusely in the government of a man who likes to superfluously draw attention to his putative intolerance of corruption, who claims to embody “integrity,” and who promised to make Nigeria’s governmental soil infertile for graft.

Well, people who are astonished by the malodor of corruption that’s wafting from every crevice of the regime haven’t been paying attention to Buhari’s character. Since 2016 when it wasn’t popular to do so, I have called Nigerians’ attention to a major character flaw in Buhari that conduces to the luxuriation of corruption.

For instance, in a December 24, 2016 column titled, “Tragicomedy of a Corrupt ‘Anti-Corruption’ Government,” I wrote the following: “In spite of the awful performance of the Buhari government on the economic front so far, it was usual for people to say that the one thing that was still going for the government was the president’s integrity and intolerance of corruption. No more.

“The past few weeks have shown that the president isn’t the anti-corruption crusader Nigerians thought he was. Both the optics and the substance of his ‘anti-corruption’ fight would go down in the annals, at least so far, as the most brazenly compromised and selective since the restoration of democratic rule in 1999.

“As corrupt as the Jonathan administration was, it was once railroaded by the force of public opinion to ‘accept the resignation’ of former Aviation Minister Mrs. Stella Odua over her controversial purchase of BMW armored cars worth $1.6 million. Even Obasanjo, not exactly an apotheosis of integrity, fired a number of his ministers accused of corruption.

“But a man who rode to power on the strength of his credentials as a dogged anti-corruption fighter is looking the other way when his close aides are accused of corruption.

The president, it’s now obvious, is only interested in fighting corruption if only his political opponents are the accused.So we have graduated from ‘stealing is not corruption’ under Jonathan to a state of corruption is not corruption when the people accused of it belong to the president's ‘anointed.’

“Firm, undeniable evidentiary proofs of Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai's alleged corruption have been published. So have Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazzau's, and now Babachir David Lawal's. Rotimi Amaechi has been accused of bribing judges, and Abba Kyari has been accused of accepting a N500 million-naira bribe from MTN, among others.

“The president’s first public reaction to allegations of ethical impropriety against his associates was to defend them, a privilege he doesn’t extend to others. ‘Terrible and unfounded comments about other people’s integrity are not good,’ he said through his media adviser. ‘We are not going to spare anybody who soils his hands, but people should please wait till such individuals are indicted.’

You don't dwell in the past but work with the available resources to curb misappropriation that we dwell so much into....




Nigeria is corrupt, and we have lawmakers to make laws that can jail them. we have security outfits to investigate them. We have the prison yards to keep them.. Let's utilize what we have...



It's very simple.... Nobody wants to make a law that might fight back at them as the lawmakers are completely corrupt as well....

The way these monies are being pronounced sef

We like to fool ourselves in dis country... If dis was any sane country the Minister of Humanitarian affairs would have been long arrested.. Let me explain why..
When did allegations of diversion was first reported she was the one who was quick to deny and debunk d reports.. Her excuse was dat both the DSS, EFCC and every other anti graft agency were used to monitor the disbursement and use of the monies.. Why didn't she first investigate the claims to ascertain it's authenticity first?

Under Buhari Corruption grew wings and it is flying so high.
