FG Explains Why It Will Not Disclose Amount Of Recovered Loot....

The Federal Government has explained why it won’t disclose the amount of looted funds it recovered from corrupt public officials.



It said the amount won’t be made public yet because it will be used as evidence against them in court.
Presidential spokesman Mallam Garba Shehu said much as President Muhammadu Buhari would have liked to let Nigerians know how much had been recovered, it will be impossible for now.

He said the money recovered was in the vaults of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), adding that “the issue of how much has been returned has been there. The money retrieved has to be used as evidence in court. The President said two things; we will recover and we will prosecute. So, as it is now, you don’t go and bring all these billions returned out.


“I am aware that there is an account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) where some of these funds are being kept and are evidence for a judge to see. It is not for public display. I think that is the challenge we have at the moment.”
According to him, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will soon hit the road travelling around the country to address town hall meetings, explaining government policies and actions.


The town hall meetings, he said, will hold in the first instance at zonal levels before going down to state capitals.

Shehu said: “Government realises that there is a need to take information to the people and there are steps that are being taken in order to ensure that this is done.
“If he wanted to fire people on assumption of office, he would have done it and would not have violated any rule. But he decided to give everyone a chance to see whether they would imbibe the change mantra, and be prepared to come along.”
He said with offices in the 774 local governments and state offices, the National Orientation Agency (NOA) needed to do more to enlighten Nigerians on the government’s policies.


He said, “I will say with all sincerity that I know that the NOA has worried us in government. The people and the leadership never believed in what we are doing; they never believed in change and so, they just folded their arms and watched us in the last eight to nine months. When they are there, I believe the new leadership will begin to formulate things for agencies like that.”


He addmitted that the government needed to do more in public enlightenment, stressing that “to be fair to Minister of Information Lai Mohammed, I have never seen somebody as hardworking as that gentleman, even as minister. You find out that he doesn’t miss the talk shows on radio, from one radio station to another and then he will move to a television station, to a newspaper and all of that.
“I believe that more needs to be done. I agree with you. We have an agency like NOA with 774 offices nationwide; each has not less than five to seven officials and well-equipped. But you know also, sometimes democracy has its own dark side.”
On the fight against insurgency, Shehu congratulated Nigerians on the achievements so far recorded by the Buhari administration, adding that at the moment, no city in the country is under curfew, while military road blocks have been dismantled.


Speaking on alleged secret recruitment by some government agencies, Shehu said: “I would stay out of this because I know that the parliament is investigating this and I believe we should wait for the outcome of the investigation by the House of Representatives.


“I have been approached by a number of people who say ‘can you give me a note to so or so agency?’ A lot is happening in this country and I keep saying that Buhari’s government is not a government of notes. I guess that whoever is found doing that would get himself in trouble. He is not a nepotist and I think you know
that.

“So, I think that the parliament should be allowed to look into it. I have personally called one of these agencies mentioned to ask whether it is true that they are recruiting and he said no, but the parliament can call for any documents and testimonies from anybody and they can determine whether it is true,” he added.

    Imagine story. You can come on media everyday to disturb us with how much a politician stole from our government but can't tell us how much has been recovered so far?? How is that tampering with justice..

    Please stop coming to the media with those bogus amount of money you alleged people stole since we wouldn't know when it was returned..

    You don't want us to know how much was returned so you can take your own share and act like nothing happened with no one knowing..

Does it not make sense to keep everything under wraps so that the investigation and subsequent trial is not compromised?? I hate Nigerians. They're worse than the isrealites
