Investigate your ministers Ministerial aides tell Buhari

INVESTIGATIONS by Saturday Vanguard have revealed that the claims of non- payment of salaries to some ministerial aides are not baseless.

It was learned that some of the affected aides are those employed by the ministers and others seconded from various ministries.

The situation, we gathered, had become unbearable for the affected appointees, who now survive on Duty Tour Allowance, DTA. Frustrated about their conditions, some of them revealed what they termed “corrupt practices” of some ministers and hoping that President Buhari would summon courage to investigate some of the ministers.

Some aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it appeared as if there is a consensus among some of the indebted ministers not to pay, adding that they were considering resigning their positions.
