“Termites ate vouchers of our N17bn spending, NSITF told Senate. This transaction occurred from January to December 2013. What the Management should do is to ask for bank statements under that period&the file references would be found. This happened under Past Democratic Party.
2: once you can print the bank statements, seek Auditor General’s approval to prepare new voucher.Than informed the beneficiaries at that time, if alive to certify the expenditure. After,ICPC can do their job if misconduct or misappropriation happened. With TSA now, you can trace
Only during this APC govt Snake & Monkey swallowed money, CBN & other financial offices caught fire during COVID-19 Pandemic era and the latest is that TERMITES “destroyed” documents related to billions of Naira”
“Is the forensic unit of the @officialEFCC accepts that termites ate the voucher of a N17.1 billion expenditure. Or is it going to be swept under the carpet in 2 days time just like the case of snake swallowing money or rats eating money?”
“In 2022 when data storage and protection technology is efficient and affordable, a government parastatal is telling us that termites ate the voucher of a N17.1 billion expenditure. This country has been thrown to the dogs”
