There are strong indications that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) is set to begin investigating some ex-ministers, serving and ex-permanent secretaries and directors of budget and finance in charge of revenue-generating Ministries Departments and Agencies who served under the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. It was gathered that the anti-graft agency would this week interrogate the affected officers, a majority of whom served between 2010 and 2015. This move is coming following a report by the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, that the Federal Government would prosecute any official of revenue-generating agencies indicted in the audit report, which revealed that N450bn was not remitted to the Consolidated Revenue Fund Account.
The unremitted amount, which involved about 33 revenue-generating agencies of government, was for the 2010 to 2015 fiscal period which falls under the leadership of Jonathan. Some of the agencies are the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Shippers’ Council, Nigerian Export Promotion Council, National Health Insurance Scheme, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and Nigerian Communications Commission, Nigerian Postal Service, National Information Technology and Development Agency, Nigerian Television Authority, Bureau of Public Enterprises, National Pension Commission, Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc, Raw Materials Research and Development Council, Nigerian Ports Authority, Nigerian Export Processing Zones Authority, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria.
