He said: “I have asked the director of finance for the records of all the contracts awarded since the inception of NIMASA, the contractors’ identities and what stages the various contracts are at. I have also asked for records of all the revenues generated, what NIMASA remitted to the Federal Government, a list of all its employees and their roles in the agency.
The minister who condemned the poor environmental condition at the agency’s premises said “I look at your resource centre; it is dirty and unkempt. One wonders where all the billions of naira spent by NIMASA went. I can’t see any search and rescue equipment. Perhaps it is kept on the water,” he added
