The Nation Newspaper Senate probes 774 federal agencies over alleged financial improprieties

The Senate is currently investigating 774 federal government agencies over alleged financial improprieties in queries raised against them in the 2019 report of the Auditor-General for the Federation .

He nevertheless appealed to heads of government agencies at the federal, state and local government levels to embrace the spirit of self-discipline and fear of God in the discharge of their responsibilities. “The AuGF report for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 fiscal years were not all ready. It was only the 2019 Auditor General’s report that was then ready for us to take action on.“The Auditor General’s report for 2020 was ready at the time I became the Senate Public Account Committee but it could not be signed by the acting Auditor General for the Federation.

“All we are out for, is to identify what went wrong in the past, how they went wrong. Going forward, what measures do we take to forestall their reoccurrence? That’s all. “They are still appearing before our committee to answer the queries they have against them as far as the 2019 Auditor General’s report is concerned. That’s the situation at the moment.

On the 2007 Procurement Act, Wadada said: “Everything in life is dynamic. Changes happen every day and as human beings, we have to be dynamic and live with changes.
