The missing Okigbo panel report

On January 15, 1994, as part of his early moves to convince the nation of a new broom of probity and accountability, General Sani Abacha (who had become military head of state November 17, 2003) empanelled a group of eminent Nigerians chaired by the late economist Dr. Pius Okigbo to probe the Gulf War period receipts. The other members of the panel were Mr. Pascal Dozie, Dr. Yakubu Sankey, Mrs. Bola Latinwo, Chief Dotun Oyefodunrin, Dr. Umar Muttalab, and Obong Ufot Ekaette (as Panel Secretary.)

The full report, submitted 27th September, 1994, has NEVER seen the light of day, and was declared mysteriously “missing” from government records soon thereafter.
