President Bola Tinubu said his government would block all financial linkages.
Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media & Publicity, disclosed this in a statement on Friday after World Bank President, Ajay Banga, visited the Villa.
He revealed that a comprehensive audit of the Central Bank of Nigeria civil service payroll is underway to address financial recklessness.
“A comprehensive forensic audit is ongoing at the Central Bank. We will do a very serious structural review of the Civil Service payroll. I can’t believe the numbers I’m seeing; I’ve had that experience at the state level before.
“The reforms are in tandem with Nigeria’s Ease of Doing Business programme. We’ll block all financial loopholes. The reforms will target how we work, change our attitude, and educate our people equally. It’s costly, but we will do it,” he said.
Meanwhile, in his remarks, Mr Banga commended President Tinubu for addressing the country’s economic challenges.
“…In that way, we will always be your friend and partner, not just with the money, but with our minds and hearts, and you should rest assured about that, he said.
