He has come again ooo..
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has
alleged that some former governors, ministers, businessmen, public servants and
bankers stole over N1.34 trillion between 2006 and 2013 in the country. He made
the allegation while speaking at a news conference in Abuja today Jan. 18th.
"Out of the stolen funds, 15 former Governors allegedly
stole 146.84 billion naira; 4 former Ministers allegedly stole 7 billion naira;
12 former Public Servants, both at federal and state levels, allegedly stole
over 14 billion Naira; 8 people in the Banking Industry allegedly stole 524
billion naira; while 11 businessmen allegedly stole 653 billion naira.
Using World Bank Rates and Costs, one third of the stolen
funds could have provided 635.18 kilometres of road; built 36 ultra modern
hospitals, that is one ultra modern hospital per state; built 183 schools;
educated 3,974 children from primary to tertiary level at 25.24 million per
child; and built 20,062 units of 2-bedroom houses. This is the money that a few
people, just 55 in number, allegedly stole within a period of just eight years.
And instead of a national outrage, all we hear are these nonsensical statements
that the Government is fighting only the opposition, or that the government is
engaging in vendetta,” he said.
