AGF queries varsity over N3.564bn expenditure


UMUAHIA —THE authorities of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, have been queried over alleged irregular expenditure of over N3 billion.

Although, both the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof Francis Otunta, and the Public Relations Officer, PRO, Mrs Adanma Odefa, declined comments on the matter, the Auditor General of the Federation, AGF, was said to have asked the authorities to explain how about N3,564,682,778 was expended under questionable circumstances.

In the audit query no: OAUGF/ ERIAD/PC/18007 the university administration was alleged to have “misapplied personnel funds” totalling about N571,463,038.56; “irregularly transferred N995,705,752.60 from the Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, to other banks against TSA policy” as well as made cash advances of N313,822,899.37,” against laid down rules.

They were also said to have failed to remit N824, 623, 956. 16; spent N6,180,000 irregularly; engaged in doubtful trips (clashes of dates),” amounting to NN50,468,140 among others, totalling the said amount. Apart from this, the authorities were further said to have spent N2. 250 million as Easter gifts to six principal officers in 2017, even as N285, 033,619.74 was illegally withdrawn from the IGR in favour of NEEDS assessment projects.

However, efforts made by Vanguard to speak to both the Vice Chancellor and the PRO through text messages and personal calls proved abortive.
The PRO, Mrs Odefa told Vanguard that she could not speak on the issue adding that only her boss, Prof Otunta, could do so.

“I have nothing to say on the audit query. Direct your inquiries to the Vice Chancellor, Odefa said. Efforts to speak to Otunta yielded no results as he neither responded to text messages sent to his telephones nor took any of the several calls made to him by Vanguard.

News like this can only be heard in nigeria zoogeria.


by the way, what's with seun, his minions & their banning spree? Someone cannot air their views in peace anymore.
This wasn't the case under Jonathan's regime, I hope this isn't what I'm thinking.

stonemasonn:
Well, since you mentioned former president Jonathan, then let it be known that even if We are still under Jonathan the economy of Nigeria will still collapse like a pack of clouds.
Jonathan is the most overrated Nigerian in history.

ogunsam75:
Leadership by example! Why must our President send his children abroad to school? Wetin do Unmaid, Uniabuja, Unilag, Unijos ETC.

Abagworo:


Stop mentioning Buhari as the crisis has been there even during Obasanjo tenure. The herdsmen have nothing to lose as they have no country but are wanderers.

Buhari as President will do well in stopping what his predecessors could not. When he does you should appreciate instead of trying to link him with what preceded him by decades.

The best part of every Nigerian regime is the first 2 years.

You will soon confirm. They said it was body languge that gave electricity June last year while it was actually a carryover of Jonathan structures we were enjoying then. The real effects of Buari regime commences June this year. Brace up !

Nah me talk am. All we are seeing now, i said them before elections.

Too late the complaint from the SW people. Many people from the. SW say that they knew that Buhari is an economic illiterate but still voted him, because they believed that Jonathan was a thief.
They are yet to trace Jonathan's loot, abi na when shall they trace the loot?

Thank you my brother. I have stopped arguing with the zombies in my office. They are the ones now using style to talk about the disappointment of the APC government.

But i really dont understand nigerians. How dumb can we be? PDP was a major problem, Jonathan was not fit to rule but that doesnt mean that a 73 year old ex-dictator with no track record of success can be the solution to my problem.
Just because i have pneumonia doesnt mean injecting me with typhoid would be a swell idea just because you claim typhoid can heal it.

Yujin:
When I warned against buhari's emergence last year, many never listened. I said it clearly that buhari winning GEJ will not be seen as a political change of government but as a conquest of the south, many thought I knew nothing. What are the stories we are hearing today? I want the Yorubas to know this. You have nothing to fear with the Igbos. Even the cunning OBJ fell to the fulani spell because of his fear(dislike) of the Igbos. NB: Don't dismiss this strong point. Many of you voted buhari because you disliked how GEJ related with Ndigbo. Well, everyone can see the effect now. The present situation will get worst as hunger and poverty bites harder in the north as a result of the piled up evil happening there over time. Now, many of you southerners think the north, particularly the core north will brave it to come for an all war during GEJ but I know they wouldn't have done it. They know that the stand no chance. However, today its a different story but the still will lose if we get our acts right. I can see the big hands behind them but they still will lose. Victory is ours.

Prior to his death, Sarduna imported weapons to execute his plan to dip the Qur'an into the Atlantic ocean through the destabilization of Eastern region in the same way he did destabilized SW.

Go liberate Illorin and stop the fulani repeated attacks in your South wasste before worrying about Enugu which haven't even gotten half the sh1t they've done to una. Charity begins at home.
