Niger State governor, Abubakar Sani
Bello, has directed the immediate forensic audit of the contributory pension
scheme, CPS in the state.
This followed alleged undisclosed
large scale fraud detected by a committee set up by the new management of the
Board on the operation of the scheme in the Local Government Councils,
Local Government Service Commission and Niger State Universal Basic Education
Broad, NSUBEB.
The governor, it was learnt, had
already approved the appointment of an accounting and auditing consultancy firm
to undertake the exercise and proffer global best practices options for the
operation of the scheme.
Senior Special Assistant to the
Governor on media and publicity, Jide Ointunsin who confirmed the
development said the forensic audit was a move by the state government to
unearth the discrepancies and the lingering crisis that led to the suspension
of deductions under the scheme in April, 2015 and ensure effective operation of
the scheme in the state.
