The Deputy Vice Chancellor, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU) Lapai, Niger State, Prof Hassan Ibrahim has said members of the National Assembly demand bribes from universities during oversight visits.
Ibrahim spoke during the 3rd Annual Lecture of the Bursary Department of the Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna, themed, ‘The Role of Accountants in Enhancing Ethical Financial Practices in the University System’.
He explained that interference by politicians in the management of the university system has made operations not only difficult but has corrupted and bastardized the system.
He, however, blamed the institutions’ accountants for the development, saying they have failed to adhere to the five fundamental ethics of the profession in management of resources.
The professor accused the accountants of lack of transparency and accountability in their records.
