My Ministry is not linked to it — Sadiya Umar Farouq makes clarification on N2.67bn school feeding money ICPC claims to have found in a private account

Minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, Sadiya Umar Farouq has made a clarification on the N2.67bn school feeding money which ICPC claims to have found in a private account.

Sadiya Farouq in a statement released by her special assistant on media and publicity Nneka Ikem Anibeze, said the school feeding in question is different from the home grown school feeding programme which is one of the ministry’s social investment programmes (SIP).

The ministry therefore called on the general public to disregard the false reports being linked to the ministry as it is not in anyway involved in the Federal Government Colleges School Feeding.

The statement read;

“The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development hereby informs the public that the Federal Government Colleges school feeding in question is different from the Home Grown School Feeding which is one of its Social Investment Programmes.

“That the School Feeding under scrutiny is feeding of students in Federal Government Colleges across the country and is not under the Federal ministry of Humanitarian Affairs which only oversees Home Grown School Feeding for children in Primaries 1-3 in select public schools across the country.

“That the over N2.5 billion which was reportedly misappropriated by a senior civil servant (name withheld) took place in a different ministry and not the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

“The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development calls on The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC to publish the names of persons, federal colleges and school heads whose names have been found to be associated with the missing funds and also freeze the accounts where the said funds were diverted.

“The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs therefore calls on the general public to disregard the false reports being linked to the ministry as it is not in anyway involved in the Federal Government Colleges School Feeding.”

  1. Too much stories. Why are you people so wicked
    It baffles me why you can never do things in a right manner
    People are dying of hunger, children are dying of malnutrition, you are busy stock piling money that you don’t even need
    There are so many things God will judge..o
    Wicked leaders
    Even you that is talking are you not stealing away funds
    We are fed up with all of you

  2. They increase the price of fuel and other essential commodities and tell us there is no money again only for them to see more funds to loot
    Agony of hunger ravaging the people, children wailing and crying for food to eat, no food and some nonsence idiot is out there in one useless office and be looting away trillions of fund meant for these children
    This is a pitiable condition

  3. What baffles me most is that why are they use to withheld anyone that was found wanting of corruption. It has become the habit of the corruption agencies in our country whatever they found the culprit they always covering those involve in the laundering. Government should expose them for people to Know them

  4. Madam you are directly connected to this misappropriated funds.with you said you are feeding the children.were are they now.

  5. Whose Names Have Been Found To Be Associated With The Missing Funds And Also Freeze.fine but you said you where feeding the school children during the lockdown so where are the children you where feeding?

  6. In first instance, why do they siphoned the money that is meant for masses? I don’t think you also excempted from this corruption it’s only time will tell. I don’t trust any our leaders or politicians if money is involved.

  7. Why diverting money meant feeding of students to private use, that is wickedness. I could also remember during this lockdown when NNDC diverted exhorbitant money meant for palliative for their own use and many more. ICPC should compound their names and charge them to court.
