The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has written to the Director-General of the National Pension Commission, Aisha Dahir-Umar, demanding an explanation on the allegation that she bribed her way to be confirmed as the substantive Director-General of the commission.NANS stated this in a Freedom of Information request letter signed by the union’s National Secretary, Usman Baba Kankia, asking the commission to confirm the truth or otherwise of the claim that it spent 14 billion naira for personnel costs annually.The group further requested for the total number of people under the payroll of the commission and insisted the commission is bound to reply within seven days after the receipt of the latter.The union said it will petition the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and other relevant agencies with the aim of causing them to jumpstart thorough investigation into the activities as a Public Officer.
