Nigerian civil servants are
more corrupt than members of the National Assembly, Hon.Muhammad Gausu, a
member of the House Representatives (APC Ringim/Taura, Jigawa State), has said.
A Nigerian lawmaker has revealed that civil
servants are very corrupt and use different means to steal public funds.
He told journalists in
Ringim that the “thieves are in the ministries’’.
“People talk about us
because we are elected; but the thieves are in the ministries,” he alleged.
“Directors insert billions
of Naira because they are the ones that give contracts and they are the ones
that the contractors see.
“Let me give you an
example. I was in a committee on Niger Delta. There was a single contract with
20 different names and codes."
He that the consultancy fee
for that contract was N1.2 billion.
“Who is responsible for
this? The lawmakers or civil servants?
“Nigerians must understand
that this is what we are there to stop not encourage.”
He appealed to Nigerians to
sustain their support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in all
coming elections. The present economic hardship, he said, would be a blessing
for the country as President Muhammadu Buhari’s team was ready to tackle the
situation.
