There’s no issue with Paris Club refund – Yari

The Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), Abdulaziz Yari on Tuesday said there was no issue concerning the Paris Club refund.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had started investigations into how the refunds were distributed among states.

The anti-graft agency had written a report to President Muhammadu Buhari alleging that the funds were diverted.

But the Zamfara governor told State House correspondents that there was no issue after a meeting with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The governor said, “There is no issue with the refund. The e issue is with consultancy which I think the Minister of Finance made clear that the consultancy which we decided to domicile in the NGF account was asked to work together on who to be paid or who not to be paid.

“Some people wrote a petition that they have not been paid and mind you, we have not even started paying fully because we have to ascertain who worked for who.

“As I am talking to you now, we have a lot of litigations. Someone says he worked for so and so years for this state and that state. We are taking a decision on that. I will not make any comment on it yet.”

He said the Paris Club refunds has helped governors pay salaries.
