Contrary to insinuations over her letter to the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, on cash recoveries by the Federal Government, Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, on Sunday insisted there is no ulterior motive was intended.
In statement by Oluyinka Akintunde, her spokesman, Mrs. Adeosun said the harmless letter dated February 9, 2018, was a standard “aimed at improving controls over the recovered funds.”
The letter, she noted specifically, was “to enable the reconciliation and harmonisation of the figures on recovered funds by the government.
In any case, she noted that the EFCC has since shown the desired understanding by providing the requested information, following which “reconciliation is ongoing.”
