Governors of the 36 states of the federation have backed the
Federal Government in its efforts to recover the subsidy claims from the
marketers. Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, who disclosed the governors’
position at the end of the National Economic Council meeting, said the
governors were excited that the Federal Government’s effort had started to
yield result as some marketers had started to make refunds.
Obi, though did not disclose the names of the marketers who
have started repaying the stolen money, said Nigerians need to show
understanding by supporting the Federal Government’s efforts at recovering the
funds.
According to Obi, “from the report we got, some have started
refunding. It is a serious case that people were paid for vessels that were not
anywhere near the Nigerian waters. And I think when the Federal Government does
a thing that is courageous and right; they should be encouraged and can at
least give them the courage to do more.
