Malami Accused Of Supporting Consultants In $418m Paris Club Payments

The Nigeria Governors’ Forum says the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, was working against the public’s interest by insisting on the payment of $418 million to private consultants from the accounts of state governments. <br />The consultants are claiming a percentage of Paris Club refunds as payment of services they said they rendered to the states and local government. <br />The spokesman of the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, Umar Gwandu, says the AGF suggested the states and local governments had acted in bad faith for taking the case to court. <br />The NGF, says the AGF’s actions raise questions of propriety and the spirit of justice.
