Probe Last-Minute Loans Being Secured By Outgoing President Buhari, Governors, CACOL Tells Nigerian Anti-Graft AgenciesThe anti-corruption group described such as unhealthy, saying such last-minute actions could be booby traps for incoming administrations.
The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership has warned federal and state governments against rushing to award new contracts, making appointments into sensitive positions and signing new laws as they round off their administrations. The anti-corruption group described such as unhealthy, saying such last-minute actions could be booby traps for incoming administrations.CACOL in a statement issued on Thursday by its Director of Administration and Programmes, Tola Oresanwo on behalf of the organisation’s Chairman, Mr Debo Adeniran, said most of the affected governors may have taken the cue from President Muhammadu Buhari in his decision to take $800 million loan from the World Bank.
"The meeting approved a total of N327.34 billion for the ministries of transportation, sports, aviation, federal capital territory and for other works including Ogoni projects, IRS building in Abuja and Port Harcourt."We have heard how some outgoing state governors are now enmeshed in this last-minute rush to award contracts and sign new bills into law. Recently, outgoing Taraba State governor, Darius Ishaku, made the headline news.
The anti-corruption group said the development could leave booby traps for the incoming administrations, adding that the ‘president-elect’ and governors-elect had not condemned these ‘outrageous developments’,"probably because they are of the same parties with their soon-to-be predecessors or they had been helped in the elections.
