The President of Nigeria
Mohammadu Buhari has reportedly redeployed 184 top budget officials to other
parastatals that have little or nothing to do with budget as their punishment for
their roles in padding the 2016 budget sent
to the national assemble.
It was reported that 22 of the
officials are from the federation budget office, while others are from
budget-related duties in other Ministries, Department and Agencies. Four of
whom were redeployed are Directors on level 17 and six are deputy Directors,
the Minister of Budget and National Planning Akpadem James confirmed
the redeployment of the officials but refuse to give further comment to the
development
