Convert seized Emefiele’s duplexes to liaison offices for LGAs – Prof. Ogbo

Rector of Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, Professor Usman Ogbo Salisu, Monday, urged the federal government to give the duplexes seized from the erstwhile governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, as liaison offices to local councils in Nigeria.

Professor Ogbo’s call is coming on the heels of the various suggestions by Nigerians on how to utilise the 753 duplexes seized from Emefiele as proceed of corruption.

Interacting with journalists Monday in Lokoja, the rector said, “I wish to add my voice and opinion to the avalanche of suggestions on how the federal government can handle the recovered “Emefiele’s Duplexes” for the benefit of the public.

“While there is suggestion that it should be handed over to the Nigerian military to serve as additional barracks for them, others have suggested outright sales through open competitive bidding to members of the public, amongst other enthusiastic suggestions to guide the federal government in taking decisions on the recovered corruption proceed from an embattled erstwhile public servant.

“It is in response to such previous suggestions and opinions that I wish to proffer that the federal government convert the recovered 753 duplexes from the embattled former CBN governor, Mr. Emefiele to a National Liaison Office for local government areas (NLOFLGA) for the 774 LGA in Nigeria.”

He suggested that the federal government could make up the deficit of the 21 duplexes, complete the building and allocate the same to each of the LGA in Nigeria to serve as national monument and as a metaphorical reference even to the future generations
