The Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Dr. Oluwatoyin Madein, has faulted the ‘disbursement’ of N585,189,500.00 into a personal account.
Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, in a viral document personally signed by her and directed to the Office of the AGF, instructed the payment of the funds to one Oniyelu Bridget Mojisola.
The document also showed that the payment of the N585.189 million grant, meant for vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Ogun and Lagos states, was made into Oniyelu’s account.
But reacting to the leaked document, Rasheed Zubair, Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Minister in a statement on Friday, said the payment for the vulnerable group followed due process.
