The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) has uncovered what appears a systematic fraud in the financial management of University of Ibadan, amounting to N5.1 billion.

The sum, a cumulative excess in personnel allocations to the university for the period of 2010 -2015, was found to have been spent by the university council without due approval.

 

The university was also found to have received another N945 million in excess of its budgetary allocation during account reconciliation with the OAGF for the period among several shoddy practices.

An audit report conducted by the Federal Government on the university revealed that the institution received total budgetary personnel cost allocation of N60.53 billion and spent N55. 10 billion on personnel emolument during the period covered by the audit, while the N945 million was over budgetary withdrawal applied for by the university authorities and which was discovered during reconciliation of the UI account records with OAGF.

 

The OAGF had in November 2016 engaged the services of OS Professional Services to perform a process audit on the university. The audit covered the tenure of former Vice Chancellor, Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole, the current Minister of Health, and his successor, Professor Abel Idowu Olayinka.

 

A don in the varsity, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the audit report which he said is already causing ripples in the ivory tower, and wondered why the Federal Government was yet to act on the report of the audit, almost 15 months after the audit report was completed.

 

Also our source in the OAGF confirmed that the audit report had since been submitted but declined further comments.

 

The report sighted by this reporter confirmed that the balances of over N2 billion from twenty-two bank accounts of deposit money banks (DMBs) were not credited by CBN and there was no valid evidence showing that authorities of the university protested the anomaly to the representative DMBs and CBN.

 

“The total over funding of N5.1 billion was recorded for the period highlighted. The first four years witnessed an over funding of N1. 50 billion, N1. 40 billion, N1. 90 billion and N1.16 billion, respectively, whilst year 2014 and 2015 have under funding of N.396 billion and N0.404 billion, respectively.

 

“The budgetary allocation to the university increased over the years from N9.33 billion, N10.61 billion, N10.71 billion for 2011, 2012 and 2013 but there was slight decrease to N9.66 billion in 2014 and finally increasing to N10.92 billion in 2015,” the report stated.

 

The audit report carried out by OS Professional Services for the OAGF revealed that the absolute percentage growth between 2010 and 2015 is fifteen percent as personnel cost increase from N7. 82 billion to N7.94 billion, N8.70 billion, N9.55 billion, N10.05 billion and N10.93 billion for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

 

It attributed the increase in personnel emolument to increase in salaries, number of employees and promotions between 2010 and 2015, adding that the additional number of employed were 42, 48, 311, 617, 459, 320 for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

 

The report, however, noted that the proportion of academic and non-academic staff is skewed in favour of non-academic staff over the same period.

 

In addition, the audit also uncovered weak internal control over cash recording and prevalence of unbanked receipts.

 

“There are inadequacies in the control of cash. There are many instances in which the updating of the cash book is several months in arrears. Consequently, the bank reconciliation statement is not up to date. Many of the bank accounts are yet to be reconciled before the transfer to Treasury Single Account (TSA) in 2015. The accuracy and the correctness of the balances transferred cannot be validated.”

 

Similarly, the audit uncovered anomalous practices, including contract splitting by the council, in contravention of Public Procurement Act 2007 as well as bid rigging and tenders evaluation manipulation.
