There is also the need to be concerned about the feasibility of the government’s anti-graft management model. Nigeria
The Auditor-General of the Federation’s audit report, which indicted President Muhammadu Buhari’s government on financial matters is certainly significant in many ways.
Some examples that obviously brought down the indictment harmer on the government include the revelation that officials of the government were involved in multi-faceted financial malpractices of not remitting collected deductions to the tune of N3.79 billion; the existence of doubtful cash balance of over N315 billion; non-retirement of overdue Personal Advances of N4.87 billion as at December 31, 2016 as well as Cash Advances totalling N343.7 million as at October 2016. Even, an N60.
But the most worrisome and of course, scandalous among the developments in the Federal Government’s financial affairs is that as in April 2018, 109 agencies had not submitted their audited accounts beyond the year 2013; 76 last submitted for the 2010 financial year while 65 never submitted any account since inception.
One thing that must grieve the heart of the nation, with President Buhari leading, is the fact that fingers of financial improprieties were pointed at such prime organs of government as the Presidency, Office of the Chief of Staff to the President, the National Assembly and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission . One can only imagine the direct and indirect implications of an accuser becoming the accused.
