Senator Shehu Sani, a former legislator and social commentator, has voiced his unhappiness with the way political leaders plunder the national budget.
Sani said that a few people in government positions were looting billions of naira every day while the education sector suffered.
The remark came in response to claims of financial mismanagement at the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development.
Metrowatchxtra.com reported that the duo of ex-minister Sadiya Umar-Farouq and now suspended Minister, Betta Edu, have been interrogated by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, concerning the matter.
Sani decried the fact that tuition fees were “callously” increased in the public universities and polytechnics because “there is no money to fund public tertiary education,” when billions of Naira were being stolen by a few individuals.
He wrote: “Every day new revelations of billions stolen by few individuals; and Tuition fees are callously increased in our public universities and polytechnics because “there is no money to fund public tertiary education”.
