Auditor General Flags N108 Million in Financial Failures at CCT
What happened
The Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation reported financial failures at CCT during the 2024 financial year. The report found that CCT could not account for 52 contracts worth N52.2 million from 2023 because it failed to send procurement records to the Bureau of Public Procurement. Additionally, the institution was queried for N46.86 million paid without a prepayment audit and N9.38 million paid without supporting documents, totaling N108.46 million.
