NEMA refutes Reps allegation on N13bn expenses

Former Super Eagles winger, Emmanuel Amuneke, has backed head coach Gernot Rohr’s monitoring of Super Eagles players in his efforts to ensure that Nigeria qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Amuneke Amuneke spoke yesterday on Rhor’s intentions of gauging the psyche of the Eagles players ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon. “Gernot Rohr being at some clubs in Europe to see some of the players he intends to invite for the World Cup qualifiers is great,” Amunueke states. “He stays in Europe, so you cannot begrudge him travelling to some countries there because it’s closer for him to reach those boys. “Rohr and the Nigeria Football Federation need Nigerians’ support and not criticisms at this time. Let him select the players and goalkeepers he wants. He needs to find out who’s ready for those crucial matches. “It’s him the coach who takes the glory or blames for the team’s performances,” the 1994 African Footballer of the Year winner Amuneke concludes. Nigeria will host Cameroon in the first of the two fixtures between both countries on September 1 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.

                                   Members of the House of Representatives at the meeting

The National Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday refuted claims by the House of Representatives that the agency recently spent a colossal sum of N13bn within one month.

It said the allegation by the House Committee Chairman on NEMA, Jibrin Santumari, was spurious and had no factual basis.

The House of Representatives Committee on NEMA had issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Director-General of the agency, Mustapha Maihaja, on Tuesday, mandating him to appear before the lawmakers in order to explain how he spent N13bn in just one month.

Santumari alleged that the NEMA boss had been involved in wasteful spending since he assumed office at the agency about three months ago.

But reacting to the claims of the lawmaker in a statement issued by the Head, Media and Public Relation, NEMA, Mr. Sani Datti, the agency stated that only N4.6m was in the account of the organisation when the new DG assumed office.

It said the financial problems of the agency got compounded by a report from humanitarian actors that due to the scaling down of funding by donor agencies, the humanitarian activities in North-East would also be scaled down.

NEMA said, “Furthermore, it was reported that there was apprehension of eminent hunger and famine. Faced with this staggering reality on ground and paucity of fund at that time, the director-general was forced to urgently raise the issue with the Acting President who approved the release of 30,905 metric tonnes of food items from the government’s strategic reserve for immediate distribution to the affected communities.

“It must be stressed that the only fund released to the agency was N829m for distribution, logistics, security and associated cost. Out of this sum, only about N200m have been expended so far.”
