The Auditor-General raised some queries on some missions, so we visited South Africa and Atlanta, US. We discovered that Nigeria is losing serious money through your operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou engaged consultants to manage your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/07\/28\/nigerian-missions-abroad-to-deliver-passports-by-mail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passports<\/a> and visas platform. In our opinion, NIS personnel were trained to manage visa and passport matters. That is your core mandate. So, on what basis are you now engaging consultants? So what are you people doing in the offices? So, your men are idle, roaming the streets?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not acceptable to the parliament. Something has to be done to stop the economic wastage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cI give you a scenario: In South Africa, out of revenue of $213, a consultant took $90. Out of that $213, only $15 came to Nigeria\u2019s purse. That particular consultant is managing 14 countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria is bleeding through this window and we will continue to borrow money to finance our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/12\/11\/how-fg-encourages-corruption-through-budgetary-allocation-wike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">budget<\/a>. And one person sitting down in the corner of his room is making $90 on each applicant. It will not continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Summoning the Federal Government officials, Oke said, \u201cThe Minister of Interior, the Permanent Secretary and the CG of the service are to cause appearance before this committee to speak to this issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have a letter from this committee asking you to furnish this committee with the particulars of all the consultants you have engaged and the agreement you signed with them. Nigeria is bleeding through this window.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are your personnel doing? Why did we train and engage you? Your personnel are idle, roaming the streets, sitting down in the offices and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/11\/12\/paris-club-refund-malami-backing-consultants-to-fleece-nigerians-of-their-money-fayemi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consultants<\/a> are doing your job and taking away our money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Minister of Interior, the Permanent Secretary, the CG have to come with the agreement you signed, and give reasons that they have to deny personnel trained and employed to do this work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are also exposing Nigerians to risk \u2013 data protection. We owe Nigerians a high duty of care and we would discharge it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The committee also directed the NIS to furnish it with records of procurement and utilisation of funds collected through service-wide votes for capital projects from 2013 to 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House of Representatives\u2019 Committee on Public Accounts has summoned the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola; the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Shuaib Belgore; and the Acting Comptroller-General of the NIS, Idris Jere, to appear before it on Wednesday to address engaging consultants to manage visa and passport-related matters at Nigerian missions across the world.
