A CSO known as the Nigerian Watch Front Group has expressed concern over the continuous stay in office of the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investments, Dr Evelyn Ngige despite allegation leveled against her.
Dr. Ngige, was alleged to have been involved in procurement scandal and alleged bribery of the Head of Service of the Federation over public procurement in order to shield her from alleged corrupt practices prosecution following her indictment by the Nigerian Police Force.
The CSO through Abubakar Gazali Yaro, its National Coordinator in a press release made available to journalists in Bauchi on Friday stated that, “You may recall that the investigation ordered by the Inspector General of Police indicted the permanent secretary for contravening Section 58(4) (d)(5) of public procurement act, which is a clear criminal breach of trust capable of being prosecuted under the law.”
