FG Inaugurates Panel To Recover Unremitted Revenues

Hopefully, NNPC will be forced to cough out the billions of dollars they've been commandeering and other guilty government agencies will do the same. Without Sanusi's brave action, this wouldn't have happened - they can't sweep this under the carpet.
I wonder why it took Sanusi's letter for these incompetent thieves to realize that transparency is necessary in the management of the nation’s abundant extractive resources. Duk barawo banza.
The Federal Government yesterday inaugurated an inter-ministerial task team to recover all unremitted revenues discovered from audit findings.
The move was proposed to government by the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI).
Inaugurating the committee in Abuja, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim, maintained that Nigeria signed up to the initiative based on the clear conviction that transparency in the management of the nation’s abundant extractive resources will boost government’s efforts to reduce poverty, sustain development, social harmony and better investment climate.
Stressing that the Federal Government fully supports the regular audit and prompt implementation of issues that may arise, he charged the reconstituted task team to work closely with NEITI with a view to ensuring prompt recovery of all outstanding revenues due to the Federal Government from audit findings.
The chairman of the task team, Ledum Mitee, said the reports are not intended to witch-hunt”.
