Misappropriation of N500B: A Tall Tale |

| My attention has been drawn to a report published by the Niger Delta Citizens and Budget Platform which purported to analyse budgets of states and local governments in the Niger Delta. My initial feeling was to ignore the report as a sponsored work of political opponents and as it is common knowledge that often public officials are needlessly denigrated by the public, especially members of the press. Two factors have however led me to respond. The first is to correct some inaccuracies and outright falsehood contained in the report. The other is that an Internet news site purportedly belonging to a Nigerian in “Diaspora” mischievously relied on the report to feed its local and international audience with falsehood. Sadly, Nigeria is a country where facts are not sacrosanct and data not held in high regard by a majority of researchers and the country at large. |
