“Reports which revealed unapproved and indiscriminate withdrawals from the ECA, including current year expenditures, fuel subsidies, debt financing and power projects, all of which are outside the fund’s mandate.

“Obscurity has consistently characterised the management of interests accruing on federal government investments, which is in contravention of the accountability principle, and points to misuse of much-needed government funds.” Iyawe further lamented the lack of transparency from the CBN which significantly affected the revenue accruable to the Federation Account, as well as undermined the federal government’s efforts to plug leakages, reduce corruption, and improve revenue for the federation.
