EXCLUSIVE: Auditor-General’s office spotlights irregular payments to officials at law reform commission

The Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation (OAuGF) has exposed different forms of “irregular” payments of salaries and allowances to officials of the Nigerian Law Reform Commission (NLRC).

The revelation highlights how public funds easily leak into private pockets through seemingly legitimate channels.

The NLRC, established in July 1979, is saddled with the responsibility of developing Nigerian laws and leading the push for the reform of outdated federal laws.
