EFCC reveals name of governor who built $3m hotel with Paris Club refund


Governor Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari





The governor who is the chairman of the Governor’s Forum allegedly illegally diverted #19billion reportedly meant for "consultants" from the Paris club loan refund

According to the Economic and financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials in Lagos, the governor building a $3m hotel with Paris club refund to Nigerian states is Governor Yari of Zamfara state. According to Sahara Reporters, the governor who is the chairman of the Governor’s Forum was said to have illegally diverted #19billion reportedly meant for "consultants" from the Paris club loan refund. The hotel is said to be a 100-room property situated in Lekki area of Lagos.

Also the anti-graft agency is said to be ready to take over the hotel when the court order is obtained. Governor Yari also reportedly diverted N500 million from the Paris Club refund to pay off a loan, which he withdrew from the N19 billion Paris Club refund from the account of Nigeria Governors Forum. Governor Yari transferred the sum to the mortgage bank from which he had borrowed N800m to purchase to properties in 2013. 

The governor had allegedly renegotiated his debt from N800m to N500m which he then paid. So far, the total amount the governor is accused of looting is N2.2 billion from the N19billion set aside illegally to pay "consultants." Meanwhile, When news first broke that EFCC officials have traced $3 million of the controversial London-Paris Club loan refund to a governor, Nigerians were furious to hear that he allegedly used it to build a hotel.

'We sold our home to build a social network'

 Zoe Kleinman The Hughes family in Manchester have quit their jobs and put everything they own into building a social network aimed solely at sports fans. But can they take on the giants? "We see ourselves sitting at the top table with the big boys," says father Perry Hughes confidently. "We don't think we're taking on the competition."
