UBEC also reportedly failed<br \/>\nto explain the nature of the legal services rendered. The Auditor-General is concerned UBEC may have engaged &#8216;unqualified solicitors.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Plateau State Universal Basic Education Board also reportedly failed\u00a0to account for \u20a637,200,000.00 despite repeated requests by the<br \/>\nAuditor-General.\u00a0 The Plateau SUBEB also spent \u20a69,709,989 without any payment vouchers. The SUBEB spent \u20a61,607,007,353.72 Special Intervention funds\u00a0by the Federal Government without any documents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Plateau SUBEB also paid \u20a610,341,575.00 to various contractors without evidence of advance payment guarantee. The SUBEB paid \u20a670,569,471.00 through cheques to a staff, in violation of the Federal Government\u00a0e-payment policy.\u00a0 The SUBEB also failed to explain the<br \/>\npurpose of the payment. It spent \u20a6120,948,000.00 on professional development\u00a0of teachers but failed to retire and account for the money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Imo State Universal Basic Education Board reportedly spent N482, 560,000.00 as mobilization fees to some contractors without due process,<br \/>\nand any advance payment guarantee. The contracts were funded from the Matching Grant Account. The Auditor-General stated that the contractors selected lacked &#8216;the financial capacity to handle the contracts.&#8217; The SUBEB\u00a0has also failed to account for \u20a6140,774,702.12 of project fund<br \/>\nsince 2015.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Kano State Universal Basic Education Board reportedly paid \u20a671,263,000.15 to contractors without due process and without open<br \/>\ncompetitive bidding. Similarly, the Ebonyi State Universal Basic Education\u00a0Board paid \u20a6569,758,938.00 to &#8216;unqualified contractors and<br \/>\ncompanies&#8217; for the reconstruction and renovation of classrooms. The Ebonyi\u00a0SUBEB also spent \u20a610,123,892.46 to buy store items but without<br \/>\nany documents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Gombe State Universal Basic Education Board paid \u20a631,822,600.00 to a staff from its teachers&#8217; professional development funds but failed to account for the money. The Auditor-General is concerned that &#8216;the payment is fictitious&#8217;, and that &#8216;the funds did not benefit the intended beneficiaries.&#8217; The SUBEB also reportedly paid \u20a641, 277,983.00 as cash advance\u00a0to staff to &#8216;buy some materials and for press coverage but<br \/>\nfailed to account for the money.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;SERAP is concerned about allegations of widespread and systemic corruption, misappropriation and mismanagement within UBEC and several SUBEBs, the failure to investigate these allegations, and to recover any<br \/>\nmissing public funds. The Federal Government bears responsibility for ensuring\u00a0that every Nigerian child has access to quality education in<br \/>\nconducive learning environment, and to safeguard education as a public good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your government&#8217;s responsibility to guarantee and ensure the right to quality education for every Nigerian child is interlinked with the responsibility\u00a0under Section 15(5) of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 [as amended] to &#8216;abolish all corrupt practices and abuse of office.&#8217;<br \/>\nThis imposes a fundamental obligation to investigate the missing public funds from UBEC and SUBEBs, to prosecute suspected perpetrators, recover the money, and to remove opportunities for corruption in these institutions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Access to quality education would empower children to be full and active\u00a0participants in society, able to exercise their rights and engage<br \/>\nin civil and political life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any failure to promptly and thoroughly investigate the allegations and prosecute suspected perpetrators, and to recover the missing publicfunds would breach Nigeria&#8217;s anti-corruption legislation, the Nigerian Constitution, the UN Convention against Corruption, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the African Charter on\u00a0Human and Peoples&#8217; Rights, to which Nigeria is a state party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The letter is copied to Mr Malami; Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, Chairman Independent\u00a0Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission<br \/>\n(ICPC); and Mr Mohammed Abba, Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial<br \/>\nCrimes Commission (EFCC).&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari &#8220;to direct the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN to work with&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
