Borno to monitor budgets of 172 registered NGOs, CSOs – Official
The Borno State government has started vetting the spending of donor funds by non-governmental organisations working in the state, an official said.
Mrs Mandara said the state government had taken steps to ensure sanity in the operations humanitarian actors in the state. To that effect, the governor said he would authorise the opening or a register at the ministry of reconstruction, resettlement and rehabilitation where the government can monitor the activities of all non-governmental organisations.
She said the government has not only decided to register the humanitarian organisations “but also to keep a tab on their budgets and operations in the state”. “Concerning the budget of the INGOs and the NGOs, I’ll say their budgets are huge, but the only reasons I will not give you a figure is because we are analysing it now,” she said.“They have told us this is our budget; we are checking with the donors to see how much of it that is going to the people; how is it going to the hotels, air flights and other things. And once we’ve done all those analyses, I can assure it is going to be on our website.
Experts have said the insurgency had reversed the gains of the state, and it would take decades for the state to bounce back after the crisis finally ends.
