Thank God!!!! Finally stealing is now corruption

Vv

Corruption everywhere.
But what manner of journalism is this, you have the account number and say you don't know the account holder, where is investigative journalism when you need it.

idiomatic Nigeria

wat a nonsense

Nothing good come from benue, why?

mothering..... this is a sign of thief in a thief compound. this is Nigerians

Ikpe admitted that the Bureau made payments between January and May, 2015 to the tune of N18.7bn into the unknown account at First Bank, Makurdi, adding that officials of the bank refused to give the Bureau details of the account when the Director of Finance and Administration approached its officials

.

Nobody talks about the level of corruption in Nigerian banks. Without the help our banks, most of these acts of corruption by government officials will not be possible. Nigerian banks are responsible for escalating corruption in this country. They aid, incubate and protect corrupt financial transactions by government officials.

Some banks have been recently found to be hiding money meant to be paid into the TSA!. If Buhari is serious about the war against corruption he should start withdrawing the license of some banks. Some of them are not even worth to be called a bank.

NC(Nigeria Corruption) everywhere you go.

E-payment also is one of the probs because if the account holder dies, the programmed electronic machine will be paying into that account without no one claiming it. Our government should review that

kennyman2000:
Mheeennnn... Unless we go the china way, capital punishment for any corrupt politician, capital punishment for the entire family of the politician. If not that, i dont see Nigeria getting rid of corruption..

If the capital punishment will also affect the family of the culprit. Thats when you'll hear each politician's wife telling their husbands ''pls, dont steal govt money, pls, am not ready to die, look at our beautiful children, they're not ready to die as well. Whatever is your salary, let it be okay for you. Pls, i beg you''

mheeennnn... Capital punishment, where art thou!!

dats over capital punishment

Ng politicians are heartless. Imagine while d teachers and their families are going thru untold hardship d salaries are kept somewhere.

Hmmm...

Naija politicians are deceptive criminals

bro. Na lie abeg

Oga oooooo. So this Agatu People also they thieve themselves? ;DOga oooooo. So this Agatu People also they thieve themselves?

Unknown account? You must be kidding somebody here!!!

[size=14pt]Not So SHOCKING: Benue Public Primary Schools Shut For 8 Months[/size]

Children attending public primary schools in Benue State have been stuck at home for over eight months following a prolonged strike by their teachers.

The State Government and the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), in the state have been engaged in a deadlocked dispute over teachers’ salaries since the implementation of the national minimum wage.

Channels Television was in Makurdi, the Benue State capital to examine the situation and the consequences of the strike for the pupils, the teachers and primary education in Benue State.

Life appeared normal on the streets of Makurdi, until visits to the public primary schools, where the classrooms were completely empty, with school grounds deserted and some overgrown with weeds showed the real situation.

In some cases, the buildings were already falling into ruin and the situation was the same all over the state as the prolonged strike by public school teachers had taken a heavy toll.

According to the Benue State NUT Chairman, Godwin Anyam, the problem started with the implementation of a minimum wage for public servants in the state, including schoolteachers.

“When the minimum wage was approved in the state and before its approval, I was part of the negotiation on behalf of the teachers. So when this was approved, that means the teachers also must also be part of the wage.

“What we were collecting before the coming of the minimum wage was what other workers were collecting. The only difference we had was the 27.5% enhanced allowances with the teachers, which we also fought for and was also approved by the Governor’s Forum.”

However, the State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, explained that what he decided to do was to appeal to the core civil servants whose salaries were mistakenly increased out of proportion to at least let the Government “take a small percentage” of what they had increased for them so that they would be able to accommodate teachers.

“There’s no way, even if the teachers are on strike for 20 years, I can’t raise 4billion (Naira) to pay all these salaries; that is practically out of place”, he said.

While the private schools have been cashing in on the situation and children of the privileged are receiving standard education; other children have been on the receiving end of the crisis as some have been in the streets, struggling to make ends meet.

A parent, John Awuru, expressed worries over the future of the children whose parents could not afford the cost of private schools and challenged the Government to find a lasting solution to the situation rather than condemn the pupils to a life in which they would not be able to fulfill their potentials.

All hope is not lost for those who cannot afford the cost of attending private schools, however, as few makeshift education centres had sprung up to keep the children busy for fees as low as 500 Naira per child.

As the battle over the implementation of wages continues to rage between the State Government and the Teachers’ Union, both sides appeared unwilling to concede,

The Chair, Benue NGO Network, Justin Gbagir, spoke to Channels TV, he said, “If we know the importance of education, particularly primary education which is the foundation of education, then we feel that the relevant stakeholders would have done all that is needful to ensure that the primary school teachers did not go on strike in the first instance. If at all they went on strike, they would have done everything to ensure that the strike is not prolonged.”

The Benue State Head of Service, Terna Ahua, however, explained that the State Government was approaching the problem in two directions; to cut down on the cost of governance and to increase the components of the state’s internally generated revenue.

Many public primary school children and perhaps teachers in Benue State continue to suffer the endless holiday and their deserted schools have become accommodation for the internally displaced persons fleeing herdsmen’s attacks in neighbouring Nasarawa and Taraba states.

One lesson the out-of-school children may have learnt is the meaning of the adage, “when two elephants clash, it is the grass that suffers”.
