Read full interview below;
Now it appears the anti-corruption posture of the Federal Government is carrying a big stain on the controversial reinstatement of Mr Maina, could you set the records straight?
Well, the truth of the matter about pension is a serious issue in Nigeria that has a ticket history. I believe you are rightly informed that there exist 12 pending court cases that are related to the pension fund fraud, and I equally believe you are aware that investigations have been ongoing overtime and serious recoveries involving about 270 or more assets involving house and automobiles were recovered over it; and then, I think about N14bn over time.
