 In all my years of over three decades of public service, including as Governor of a state, I have not been found wanting in the handling of public funds and use of my office- Dr Chris Ngige 


Former Minister of Labour Chris Ngige has denied the N2.2 billion fraud allegation filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC in Abuja, saying his hands are clean.


Senator Ngige, who served as Minister of Labour from November 11, 2015, to May 29, 2023, was arraigned on December 12 on an eight count charge bordering on abuse of office and acceptance of gifts.


He was briefly detained at the Kuje Correctional Centre on the order of the presiding judge.


Justice Maryam Hassan of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Gwarimpa later granted him bail.


In a statement after securing bail, Ngige insisted that no fraud was found in the petitions against him and said he left office with a clean record.


He maintained that his three decades in public service, including his tenure as Governor of Anambra State, remained unblemished.


“In all my years of over three decades of public service, including as Governor of a state, I have not been found wanting in the handling of public funds and use of my office,” he said.


Ngige also stated that the charges against him did not involve embezzlement, misappropriation or theft of public funds.
