NGOs not happy with state losses

Niamey – Nigerian nongovernmental organisations have filed a legal complaint over alleged losses of about $99 million (about R1.5 billion) in state funds.

Ali Idrissa, of the Nigerian Organisations for Budgetary Transparency and Analysis, said he and other associations combed through an audit of 2021 state spending handed to President Mohamed Bazoum last month, and estimated the state made losses of up to 63 billion CFA francs. –
