Estonia defence minister resigns amid procurement scandal as defence spending accelerates
bne IntelliNews·EE·1 day ago
Abia State Commissioner for Information Okey Kanu issued a statement correcting a prior claim that the state spent ₦1.3 billion on two Toyota Hilux trucks. The Office of the Accountant-General confirmed the expenditure of approximately ₦1,003,091,350 was for 12 vehicles, not two. The clarification addresses a potential corruption allegation but does not resolve questions about procurement value.
