Audit observed that the sum of N131,006,130.00 was paid to Messrs. Ahmed Uwais and Co (Legal Practitioners) and two others for legal consultancy services without the written consent of the Attorney General of the Federation in line with the provision of the law. In order to ensure probity and accountability in the management of public’s funds it is mandatory Attorney General of the Federation’s approval prior to engagement and payment of external solicitors.
This infraction was due to the failure of the Executive Secretary to comply with the provision of extant laws and regulations, especially as it relates to regulating excesses of MDAs with respect to expenditure on legal fees.
The Executive Secretary is required to account for the sum of N131,006,130.00 and remit same to the CRF.
