The Federal Government
has uncovered agencies which pay it in naira after collecting revenue in
dollar. It has launched a probe into the agencies’ “fraudulent activities”,
Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade told reporters yesterday after the
National Economic Council (NEC) meeting chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
(SAN). NEC
comprises the vice president as chairman; the 36 state governors and the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor are members.
Some
of the agencies, Ayade said, were the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC), Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and
Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
