The Arewa Think Tank has criticized allegations against the Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Zacch Adedeji, concerning the Frontier Exploration Fund. The group's leader, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu, stated that the allegations were a plot to discredit President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration. Adedeji himself denied the claims, calling them "pure fake news sponsored by some jobless persons."
The alleged report claimed that $279 million was transferred from the fund's account to unspecified accounts. Yakubu emphasized that the allegations should not distract from the government's reform agenda and urged Nigerians to verify claims through credible sources rather than relying solely on social media reports.
