The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has orchestrated a two-day training workshop focused on budget tracking, targeting its national and state executives. The primary objective of this initiative is to empower these executives, enabling them to hold government officials accountable for the allocation of funds intended for development projects in Northern Nigeria.
During a press conference held in Abuja over the weekend, Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, the National Coordinator of CNG, expounded on the significance of this capacity-building effort. He clarified that its core purpose is to equip CNG executive members with the tools necessary to foster improved governance and financial transparency.
In regard to the training’s goals and curriculum, which were facilitated by Budgit Nigeria, Charanchi elucidated, stating, “The training workshop was meticulously crafted to furnish participants with the essential skills and knowledge required to proficiently monitor budgetary allocations and expenditures at both national and state levels. Its primary aim was to augment their capability to hold government officials accountable for the allocation of funds designated for developmental projects in Northern Nigeria.

The training yielded several noteworthy outcomes, including a comprehensive comprehension of budgetary processes, heightened tracking proficiencies, effective advocacy methodologies, and the establishment of a robust network. Charanchi further detailed, saying, “Participants acquired an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of budget processes, encompassing planning, execution, and monitoring. This knowledge equips them to identify gaps and discrepancies throughout various stages of budget implementation.
“The workshop bolstered participants’ capacity to analyze budgets with precision, monitor public spending, and uncover irregularities. They were trained in the utilization of technological tools and platforms, such as Budgit’s open-source software, streamlining the process and ensuring meticulous documentation.
“The training underscored the significance of well-informed advocacy in demanding accountability. Participants were introduced to diverse strategies for engaging with policymakers, civil society organizations, and the media, amplifying awareness about budget tracking and advocating transparency.
“The workshop offered an avenue for participants to forge connections with like-minded individuals from various regions of Northern Nigeria. This opportunity for exchanging experiences, addressing challenges, and sharing best practices will cultivate collaboration among CNG’s national and state executives.”
Charanchi assured that, equipped with enhanced skills in budget analysis and tracking, CNG’s national and state executives are now better poised to provide evidence-based recommendations for efficient budgetary allocations. This, in turn, will contribute to enhanced governance, ensuring that resources are allocated to sectors that address the needs of Northern Nigeria’s populace.
“By diligently tracking budget allocations, CNG can play a role in advancing transparency in resource management. This proactive approach will ensure that public funds are used judiciously, thereby preventing corruption and fostering socio-economic development,” he concluded.

THE ₦400 MILLION TRAIL: Police Expose How PFIPC DG Adeyemi Blew Massive Funds!
A comprehensive Nigeria Police Force (NPF) investigation report, finalized on July 24, 2026, has revealed that Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, the alleged operator of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), misused approximately ₦400 million on personal expenses. Contrary to Adeyemi’s claims that this sum was a facilitation fee to secure a government appointment through Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, police found no evidence of such a transaction. Instead, forensic analysis confirmed forgery of appointment letters and other official documents, with financial records showing the funds were spent on luxury items, vehicles, and relatives. Further compounding his financial situation, Adeyemi allegedly secured an additional ₦100 million loan to maintain his high-end lifestyle.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The investigation also uncovered severe lapses in due diligence across several government bodies, which allowed the fraudulent council to gain official recognition. Five senior public officials—including directors in the offices of the Accountant-General and Head of Service, and staff from the Budget Office and Ministry of Budget—have been identified as having facilitated Adeyemi’s access to government processes. The NPF has recommended the prosecution of these officials, subject to legal counsel, alongside the interrogation of 22 other individuals connected to the case. The findings have been forwarded to the Attorney-General of the Federation and other relevant security and government agencies.
