Read how Jonathan ministers looted the ministries.

It has really been difficult settling to work in most of the ministries as the newly appointed ministers by president Mohammed Buhari discovered some of the Jonathan ministers looted some of the vital things before leaving office.

In some ministries,ministers met  no official vehicles, while in others, the treasuries were practically empty with no imprest to meet basic needs.

It was gathered that many of the  ministers  are finding it difficult to operate because their predecessors stripped the ministries of basic tools to work with.

Investigation revealed that some ministers have no official vehicles because their predecessors sold same to themselves in line with what they called “monetization” policy.

Others appropriated government vehicles since their severance package was not paid.

A highly-placed source said: “There is a case of a female minister who is using her personal SUV as official vehicle. Also, she has provided the pilot vehicles too in her convoy.

“Another minister went to the National Assembly to clarify some issues and what was left as official vehicle in bad shape broke down.

“We have the case of another minister who went away with 10 vehicles of his ministry and parastatals. The ministry had to write him to return some of the vehicles when the minister was adamant.

“There is no minister without one story or the other to tell. All of them have no imprest to meet basic needs in their ministries. Most ex-ministers left nothing in the treasuries.”

The spokesman for  the Jonathan cabinet, ex-Minister of National Planning, Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Suleiman, said: “To the best of my knowledge, most ministers returned their official vehicles. The necessary handover procedures were fully complied with.

“If there is any issue in a ministry, you can bring it up and we will crosscheck the facts for you.

“It is also true that some of the former ministers will not get severance package because they did not stay in office for two years.

“And as for those entitled to severance package, not all of them have been paid. This is to show you that ex-President Goodluck Jonathan did not abuse the privilege of office. Unlike previous  administrations, Jonathan did not give his ministers any exit bonanza or package.”
