A Member of the National Assembly (NASS) has called for financial auditing and strict oversight to secure the future of Nigeria’s National Growth and Knowledge Sharing (NG-CARES) initiative.
At a national retreat on NG-CARES in Katsina State, the member representing Akwanga/Wamba/Nasarawa Eggon Federal Constituency and deputy chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Hon. Jeremiah Umaru, said the programme’s success depends on continuous auditing and full transparency.
“There must be a deliberate effort to ensure proper auditing and accountability,” Umaru declared, adding that both the House of Representatives Committee on NG-CARES and state governments must carry out proper oversight to prevent misuse of funds.
The lawmaker linked sound auditing to the programme’s sustainability, urging that companies be required to dedicate a percentage of their profits before or after tax, directly to NG-CARES projects.
