The sum of N10,800,000 (Ten Million and eight hundred thousand Naira) was approved and released to the ministry as per the memos MOYECE/COMM/101/9 and MOYECE/COMM/101/10 OF 26TH October 2019, of N5,800,000 and N5,000,000, respectively. The amount was for the purchase of office gadgets (Smart phones, Canon DSLR Camera, tables, chairs, /C 1.5h, laptops, desktops computers, HP desktop printer, and power generating set (FIRMAN 8.2KVA, etc.) and maintenance of digital entrepreneurship office (DEO).
The payments were made in three tranches and in the name of the public relation officer (PRO) of the ministry. There was no evidence of how the sum was utilized. Efforts made to get the PRO of ministry to show proof of utilization of the sum for the approved purposes were rebuffed by him. A visit to and physical examination of the digital entrepreneurship office could not substantiate the claims of equipping the digital entrepreneurship office.
The permanent secretary was thus requested to obtain evidence of expending (items backed with invoices) the sum of N10,800,000 (Ten million and eight hundred naira) from the PRO of the ministry . In the alternative, he (the PRO of the ministry) should immediately refund the sum of N10,800,000 to the Government treasury.
