N13bn Missing In Katsina Treasury - Governor Cries Out
In fact the way State Governors have been going about saying huge sums
of money in States accounts have suddenly developed wings to fly is
alarming. Funds which can actually make a difference in the
States have all been pocketed by the past administrations. Oga oo. The
latest Governor
to scream for help now is the Kastina State Governor, Aminu Masari who
says
from the records the past administration handed over to him, N13bn was
missing
in the account of the Ministry of Finance. Masari made this known during
his
maiden news conference today in Kastina.
"We are investigating the whereabouts of this
staggering sum in the document handed over to the Transition Committee. The
Ministry of Finance has failed to account for this whopping sum of money,"
the Governor said.
He said his government has however set up a panel to go
through the financial records which the former administration handed over to
him to know the true position of things. N700m was missing from the account of
the Primary Education Board within one year, the Governor said.
He however announced that, his government had directed the
Chairman and Executive Secretary of the board to go on compulsory leave.
