“We made an enquiry on the regular flow of funds between the credited account communicated to us by the state government and the Plateau State Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (PLASMEDAN)’s account, and we noticed that funds were diverted to accounts related to the state government and its agencies and that no disbursement was made through the initial beneficiaries, i.e. the SME's (Artisans, traders, small holder farmers, entrepreneurs and market women.), where about 60% of the funds was supposed to go to”, he said.
