FG’s Use Of Abacha’s Loot, Reckless, Disappointing – Group
A non-governmental organisation, the Niger Delta Activists Forum, has said that the use of looted funds recovered from late military Head of State, Sani Abacha by the Federal Government has been reckless and disappointing.
National President of the forum, Success Jack, stated this when he appeared on a live radio programme in Port Harcourt monitored by The Tide.
The Tide reports that about 3.5billion dollars of Abacha loot had been repatriated to the country, even as authoritative reports have it that the Federal Government is preparing to receive yet another 321 million dollars.
Jack noted that the country is struggling with decaying infrastructure, bad roads as well as poor healthcare which he said such funds would have been ploughed into instead of being used on frivolities.
“My assessment of the appropriateness the loot has been ploughed into is a very disappointing one. We are struggling with basic infrastructures in this country,” he said.
