It was gathered that President handed down the directive to bring in fresh people who will be trained and told in clear terms the change policy of his government and will be disciplined if found wanting.
It will be recalled that Buhari had on Monday sacked Yahaya Gusau as the Director-General of the Budget Office and approved the appointment of Tijjani Mohammed Abdullahi as his replacement.
A top government official who pleaded anonymity told Punch that the President was not yet done with the issue. He said Buhari had been properly briefed of the activities of government officials in the Budget Office who were described as “budget mafia” and accused of sabotaging the budget.
The “budget mafia”, Isaiahakomor.blogspot.com gathered, have links with Permanent secretaries and DGs and MDs of government agencies who send them figures to secretly include inside the budget and once such money are approved and released, they all share the Billions for their personal enjoyment.
The source said, “The President is really angry over the discrepancies discovered in the 2016 budget. It has been confirmed that it was a clear case of sabotage."
President Buhari has given a directive that henceforth anyone found in such acts will be sent to jail.
