According to sources within the FCT Agency for Science and Technology Department told this medium that; “the recent transfer of Bursars which involved four schools under the FCT Agency for Science and Technology, was just a smoke screen because the Head of Accounting Musa Abdullahi was desirous of bringing one staff named Danboyi Yahaya to oversee one of the Schools as Bursar.”
“Through the handwork of the Head of Accounts Musa Abdullahi and Director of the Agency, Mrs. Rosemary Umana the illegal transfer of Bursars involving four schools under the Agency was carried out without the knowledge of the FCT Treasury, as well as the FCTA Establishment and Training who are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring the transfer and posting of staffs,” the source said.
This medium learnt that the making of Danboyi Yayaha who is just an accounting staff with the FCT Agency for Science and Technology Accounting department, who has no prior experience of what being a bursar entails, is allegedly to place him in one of the schools under the Department so that he will be bringing returns to the Head of Accounts Mr. Musa Abdullahi.
