     The attention of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Mr. Ahmed Idris, has been drawn to some misleading and false publications by the Premium Times and Saharareporters which alleged extra-budgetary spending over the release of N10 billion for contractors’ liabilities. The Office of the AGF wishes to disclaim the malicious reports as there was no extra-budgetary spending over the release of the funds for contractors’ liabilities. The Office of the AGF had in recent times observed that the Premium Times has formed the habit of distorting and concocting allegations against the Federal Government, the Federal Ministry of Finance and OAGF in a bid to achieve a hidden agenda despite all efforts made to set the record straight before representatives of Premium Times and also present documents to support the transparency and accountability in the release of funds to the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and institutions of Government.
