NDDC Can’t Account For N183b by Nobody: 2:48am On Aug 13, 2015 |
The special audit conducted on the activities of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has revealed that N183.7 billion could not be accounted for between 2008 and 2012. The Auditor-General of the Federation, Mr Samuel Ukura, spoke with reporters yesterday after submitting three report to the National Assembly. Ukura added that his office submitted the environmental audit on the drying up of Lake Chad and special periodic checks on the activities and programmes of the NDDC. He said a lot of discrepancies were noticed in the NDDC accounts with about N183.7 billion expected to be refunded to the federation account. A breakdown of what the NDDC will return to the Federation Account, Ukura said, includes the N70.4 billion unaccounted for from the mobilisation of various contractors that never reported to site; the N5.8 billion paid to contractors for projects not executed or abandoned; N90.5 billion spent on extra budgetary expenditure without approval by legal authorities; N1.2 billion undeducted taxes from contractors; N10.07 billion to be refunded as tax deductions made without evidence of remittance to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS); N3.1 billion transferred to unauthorised accounts and unaccountable staff advances of N1.7 billion. Ukura said: “It is our belief that all the money spent by government, if it was properly spent in the region, Niger Delta would be a better place.” He added that N785 million of N1.1 billion allegedly paid to contracts for the supply of furniture to various schools in Delta State was also unaccounted for. The Auditor-General noted that additional details of their findings are contained in the report he submitted to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr Salisu Maikasuwa. http://thenationonlineng.net/nddc-cant-account-for-n183b/ |

Why are we Nigerians so heartless? If you're going to steal at least do so with some respect! It's bad enough that they'll pad contract sums but at least they should make sure the job is done! U pad the contracts, don't do the job and claim principles! Sadly this cuts across all areas and sectors in the country and is the height of wickedness and non-patriotism. 2 Likes |

We need strong institutions. The EFCC and ICPC (for example) have been handicapped and toothless for years. More so the justice system. The whole corruption fight should not be a one-off. The anti-graft agencies and the judiciary have to be strengthened and encouraged to be more independent, so as to sustain the fight (effectively) long after Buhari's tenure. There have got to be consequences for stealing public funds. 2 Likes |

kenny987:u really don't understand how the system works, humans are animals (albeit higher ones) if there re no stiff punitive measures to stroke offenders and deter potential ones u re in for this, humans being the animals they re will always wanna venture those wrong paths as long as there re no checks (not to talk of when mouth watering sums are involved) ... those contracts signed out to coys , the accruements from them are actually balkanised in percentages and equitably distributed... so nobody gets to ask whether it's done or not (don't ask me how I know this pls) the devastating thing about this act, is if u choose to stand by principle and refuse indulging u will be sidelined and believe me, u never get to hear of , talk less having the opportunity to seek any contract in future.... Look my sister.... what you need for a state to thrive are good laws and strong institutions (where they lack schism , massive breakdown, looting and every other vices u can think of abound as evident in our nation..)

So u even support stealing, but "with some respect"...how do u expect them to steal with some respect sef, when they had a leader that encouraged them to steal without "respect"?..A leader that was busy looting and had the guts to defend his actions by saying "stealing is not corruption" |

It's simple! NDDC needs to be probed ![]() But on a serious note, people no dey fear God again? It's as if there is a stealing/corruption competition going on in Nigeria |

midolian: Not necessarily supporting stealing, just creating a worst case scenario. Meanwhile is it possible to just address the subject matter without making it all about GEJ? The sums in question predate him and in all honesty humans do what they do on their own volition especially when someone is going to take the fall for their actions and when that person appears weak or unable to put his foot down. |

ilobasama: When OBJ came into power in 1999, he set up Oputa panel to address human right abuses of the military government. We wasted money funding that sitting. What did the government do with the recommendation. I still advocate for recovery of looted funds, but looks like this government is chasing everything at the same time or some people trying to stay relevant so they are not removed for none performance. If this government keep chasing everything, it won't achieve anything. |

kenny987:Words like patriotism and nationalism only exist and have meaning in our text books. Imagine the plunder. What you just highlighted is what I have big problem with, one is given a bad to do, he collects money and refuse to do it simply because he/she knows they can get away with it. This is the mind set of many Nigerians, the sooner people know they can't get away with daylight stealing, the better for us all. midolian:Bros if you occupy this same office wouldn't you help yourself to the funds? DON'T LIE OH!. ![]() |
Re: NDDC Can’t Account For N183b by Nobody: 9:09am On Aug 13, 2015 |
I get your point, if that's it. But at the end of the day, guilty ones must be prosecuted. This will atleast reduce diversion and embezzlement of public funds, and send a message to looters that its not business as usual. If we discourage our government from going after these guys, then we are as well not ready to fight corruption and hence, remain stagnant as a nation. Icecomrade: |
