The Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, has vowed to expose
the officials behind the request of N283 million for the conduct of First
School Leaving Certificate Examination in the state, an exercise which was
eventually conducted with N30 million.
Mr. Obaseki has ordered an immediate investigation into the
“budget padding.”
The State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation,
Paul Ohonbamu, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday after the weekly
meeting of the State Executive Council in Benin.
“A memo was sent to the governor for the conduct of the
examination and N283 million was earmarked for the examination, which
eventually cost N30 million,” the commissioner stated.
“The governor is not comfortable with this. He has directed
that those responsible for the disparity be identified and brought to book,”
Mr. Ohonbamu said.
Can you imagine the disparity in the figures?
The f**k ???
