CSOs deny N3bn contract racketeering against NEMA DG

From Okwe Obi, Abuja

Civil Society Groups for Good Governance (CSGGG) and Integrity Advocacy for Development Initiative (IADI), has shrugged off claim that the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mustapha Ahmed, looted N3 billion, in one month.

Addressing journalists yesterday in Abuja, CSGGG and IADI Conveners, Ogakwu Dominic and Chris Ofomhi, said the allegation was an attempt by the purveyors of fake news to tarnish the image of Ahmed.

The allegations that the DG of NEMA looted overN3 billion between January and February was unfound- ed, malicious and highly mis-leading,” Dominic said.

According to him, Ahmed should be commended for the sterling initiatives he had brought forth to reshape the Agency for the better.

“Mustapha Habib Ahmed’s tenure as the Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), has been a one marked by a series of commendable achievements, commitment, leadership showmanship, dedication, strategic and sterling vision in handling emergency response and disaster management in Nigeria.
