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. Continue...

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.

Can you beat that? Pocketing the future of Kastina students? N700m from one account alone in one year? Ha some people will have to plan what they will tell God on judgement day. They really have to start planning it now.
