“We have several officers that we have discipline for perpetrating fraud in MDAs.”
While responding to question on the 10 percent of employment allegedly collected across the MDAs, she said: “I want to categorically state that the Head of Service of the Federation renders service to MDAs and we do not request such percentage from any MDAs.
