In most states of Nigeria, huge sums of money have been stolen from the treasury of the states. Most governors in Nigeria cook up non-existing contracts just to steal money while the people of their various states suffer severe economic hardship. The huge sums of money they are stealing run into billions of naira. These corrupt governors in Nigeria do not care about the welfare of the people of their various states, which is bad. If you check most states in Nigeria, they do not have good drinking water, the unemployment rate is high, salaries of workers and pensioners’ allowances are not paid properly, which should have been the main priorities of governors in Nigeria. Again, these governors award contracts to those who can not execute them. We observed during our working visits to some states in Nigeria that some roads these corrupt governors constructed have been washed away by rain. Most of the contractors do not know anything about road construction. If you hear the amount of money involved in these projects, you will cry for Nigeria. This is how some of these funds are being stolen on a monthly basis. Based on our findings, governors are the biggest problems in Nigeria, followed by the presidency. A contract of 10 million naira could go for 110 million naira or more. The Viewers Corner News team is hoping that a day of reckoning will come when all the past and current governors in Nigeria will explain to Nigerians how the money given to them to fix their various states was used. If a proper explanation is not given, then they will have no choice but to go to jail.
