Context/Observation

Audit observed that the sum of N63,203,529.36 was paid to field and office staff in contravention of the provisions of extant laws abolishing the recruitment of temporary staff. The salaries of these staff were not subjected to tax and the basis of computing the amount was not stated on the voucher. This action is in contravention of government policy on casuals and temporary staff which has been outlawed. 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 the unauthorized recruitment of temporary staff which has outlawed by the Federal Government.
