SERAP writes President Buhari, seeks probe of ‘missing N3.1 billion in Ministry of Finance’

The organisation said the allegations are documented in the 2018 and 2019 annual audited reports by the Auditor-General of the Federation.

According to SERAP, “as a key agency of government, the Ministry has a sacred duty to ensure transparency and accountability in the spending of the country’s resources. This implies providing strong leadership in the efforts to curb public sector corruption.” The letter, read in part, “Investigating and prosecuting the allegations, and recovering any missing public funds would improve the chances of success of your government’s oft-repeated commitment to fight corruption and end the impunity of perpetrators. It will also serve the public interest.”

“The money was spent without approval and any documents. The Auditor-General is concerned that the money may have been mismanaged.” “According to the 2019 report of the Auditor-General, the Ministry paid N20,466,744.00 as cash advances to the staff of ‘You-Win’ between 8 February and 18 December 2018 but the Ministry has failed to retire the money.”
