Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has alleged a widespread corruption in the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), and the refusal of the Accountant General of The Federation’s to reply the Freedom of Information seeking for the comprehensive update on the huge amount of public fund purportedly diverted to private accounts,

According to HURIWA, the Accountant General’s alleged refusal shows he is hiding something.

The rights group also reinforces the earlier allegation of corruption in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs And Disaster Management as justified by a recent ICPC’s revelation.

HURIWA said it has been informed from credible sources about the disturbing cases of alleged corruption in the NABDA.

Recall that the right group had earlier raised the alarm over the same matter.

It said, “Our office has consistently been bombarded with petitions on allegations of misapplication of the institutional funds of the agency in which the acting Director General/CEO; Mr. Alex Akpa is mentioned and we have tried to vigorously crusade against such tendencies because of the adverse consequences that such threat could have in the development of Bio-technological sciences in Nigeria.”
