The UK Department for International Development (DFID) has alleged that Nigeria lost $32billion to corruption, during President Goodluck Jonathan’s six-year administration.
Head of DFID Nigeria, Debbie Palmer, stated this while speaking at an event organised by Youngstars Foundation Initiative, in commemoration of the 2017 international anti-corruption day.
“An independent report estimates that up to $32bn was lost to corruption under the previous government. This is around 15 percent of state resources during the period and could well be an underestimate.
“So, the estimate is that nearly 16 percent of the previous government’s money was lost to corruption. That is a staggering amount of money. And that is money that is to all of you and to your future. That is why we all should care about corruption.
“Millions of dollars also remain in other jurisdictions tied up in legal challenges,” he said.
Palmer added that youth have a crucial role to play in the war against corruption, being carried out by the President Muhammadu Buhari government. (Daily Post)

Do you need any evidence to know that so much money was lost to corruption under Jonathan. Between Allison Madueke, Dasuki, Jonathan’s re-election, wayo 600 million Naira daily subsidy on kerosene that me and u never bought for 50 naira a liter, do u need further proof to know that the oyibos are wrong in saying 16% because for me it’s more like 50 percent
