THE Senate Committee on Education, yesterday, uncovered N9,982,258,479
hidden in the budget of parastatals by the Federal Ministry of
Education.
The committee, which discovered the amount at the commencement of its
2016 budget defence, said the amount was hidden in the ministry’s
parastatals.
The parastatals allocation for the year, according to the Senate
Committee, increased at geometric progression by almost N10 billion
while the entire personnel cost for the ministry and all its
subsidiaries including schools and colleges declined drastically when
compared to that of last year.
To this end, the committee chairman, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, ruled that
the permanent secretary and the ministry should go back to the drawing
board and come up with a more sensible overhead cost, saying its
discovery was that the huge sum was deliberately hidden under
parastatals’ personnel cost.
If this can happen under the nose of President Buhari, then i ask; "Will Corruption Ever End In Nigeria?"
We are still hopeful it does.
The Real Nigeria...
