Corruption Master Senator Pius Anyim Used N1.4 Billion To Buy Software Btw 2012 & 2015
August 21, 2015 – Master Of Corruption Senator Pius Anyim Used N1.4 Billion To Buy Computer Software Between 2012 & 2015
A senator yesterday spoke of how poor budgeting over the years hampered Nigeria’s growth.
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia South), in his review of budgets, especially in the immediate past administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, highlighted huge inconsistencies in budgetary processes and duplication of subheads which accounted for poor implementation.
He cited the approval of N1.4billion by Jonathan’s administration for the acquisition of computer software for the Office of the Secretary to the Federal Government between 2012 and 2015.
One-time Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim is the immediate past occupant of the office.
Abaribe, who spoke in Benin City, the Edo State capital, was delivering the 2015 Faculty of Social Sciences Annual Lecture of the University of Benin (UNIBEN). The topic was “Our Country, our budget: A critical analysis of Nigerians budgeting system”. He said the office of the SGF had N1.223 billion as welfare package, with N580 million voted for subscription to bodies in the 2015 budget.
He said: “A breakdown of the money appropriated in the last four years indicates that in 2012, N250 million was appropriated for software acquisition, yet the sub head appeared again, gulping N100 million while the sum of N580 million was budgeted for the same expenditure.
“I begin with the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. What could justify the allocation of N1.223 billion to that office for welfare packages? The same office also has N367.715 million for subscription to professional bodies and N580 million for computer software acquisition.
“Computer software in this case constitutes a veritable sink holes for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) seeking to pillage the treasury.
“Still on this office, let’s take time to examine this computer software acquisition. In 2012, N250 million was appropriated for software acquisition. In 2013, the subhead appeared again, gulping N100 million. Now in 2014, N580 million was appropriated for it.
“What is this computer software that a particular office acquire every year? Which privately-owned company acquires computer software to the tune of N100 million – and more – every year?
“If you check the budget for every MDA of the Federal Government, you will see identical provisions for computers, software and consumables year in year out.”
According to the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Sam Edo, the lectures are to foster interactions between the government and the governed through the requisite exposition thereby making learning pleasurable.
Senator Abaribe graduated from the faculty 30 years ago.
This Anyim should top Buhari’s list of looters, haba how can you use N1.4billion to buy common software????

These animals in human bodies have looted Nigeria to bankruptcy in just six years of a moron in power. Ugly Senator Pius Anyim spent N1.4 billion of the people’s money on software in just three years. It is now cleared to all Nigerian people both home and abroad that President Jonathan administration of six years was a national disaster, pure setbacks, and most corrupt ever. When criminal Obasanjo imposed a moron, vagabond, low IQ, and most incompetent Jonathan on Nigerian people, the results are failures, terrorism, economic collapse, corruption, mismanagement, and bad governance. Nothing good was recorded from six years of Zoologist accidentally turned president over 180 millions great Nigerian people. But the good news is that there is still hope for Nigeria with President Muhammad Buhari In power. God Almighty preserved PMB live with great health for a difficult times like this. He-PMB inherited the worse government from a joker, corrupt and highly wasteful Jonathan with over N35 billions national debt, insecurity, failed military, collapsing infrastructure, and dysfunctional systems at all levels of government. EFCC and Buhari administration should probe all government officials that have looted our national treasures to bankruptcy from 1999 to May, 2015. People like Pius Anyim, Fani Kayode, Reuti Abati, and thousands more should face the wrath of the laws. They are the reason why our beloved nation is backwards and ridicules all over the world. So far,President Buhari is doing an excellent job. May God Continue To protect And empower PMB and vice president Yemi Osinbajo.
