The ministry has written a letter with regard to the stoppage/ recovery of Executive Allowance granted outside the federal secretariat.
You are advised to direct AGPR and its sub-offices to review the expenditure statements of the Federal Consolidated Fund and ensure that no one not expressly authorized is granted the Executive Allowance, the letter says.
It is also requested to stop such payments forthwith and ensure recovery of the payments already made. Needless to mention that the power to grant Executive Allowance rests with the Federal Cabinet, on recommendations of the Finance Division, only, it adds.
It has been observed by the Ministry of Finance during the examination of the expenditures statement of the Federal Consolidated Fund that several departments outside the Federal Secretariat including AGP are drawing Executive Allowance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
