Millions released for training, ID cards shrouded in controversy, Returnees accuse govt officials of stuffing beneficiaries’ lists with names of family members, Niger Delta Ministry, Senator roll out conflicting figures, Edo Attorney-General: returnees’ allegations unfounded
Millions of naira meant for training young Nigerians recently repatriated from Libya and other foreign countries is enmeshed in a scandal.
Supposed beneficiaries of the training in poultry and fishery organised for them in Edo and Oyo states are accusing government officials of hijacking the training for the benefits of their family members and other relations.
For instance, some of the returnees who spoke with our correspondent claimed that they had no knowledge of a training programme organised for them in Ibadan and Benin, funded by the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.
Another returnee, who gave his name simply as Sunny, alleged that the training programme was only another opportunity by government officials to enrich themselves.
He said: “Those people are only using our group’s name to sign out money from government’s purse. We didn’t benefit from the training. “This is our group and we know ourselves. They should make public the names of all the beneficiaries and let us see how many returnees are on the list. “I can bet that most of the names you will find on the list would be those of their relations and girlfriends. “This is a clear case of fraud and injustice, and we will resist it.” Another returnee, who gave his name as Sam, said: “This is a clear case of monkey dey work, baboon dey chop.
