3. $6bn Fuel Subsidy Scam
Nigeria’s parliament has discussed a report said to reveal that $6bn (£4bn) has been defrauded from the fuel subsidy fund in the past two years.
The debate, which was televised live, made official findings that have been widely leaked in recent days.
The fuel sector probe was set up in the wake of angry nationwide protests in January after the government tried to remove a fuel subsidy.
Nigeria is a major oil producer but has to import most of its fuel.
Notable members of the PDP or their families were involved in the scam like Mamman Ali and Mahmud Tukur.
Punishment: Ongoing court cases, no convictions. House of reps report tainted by Farouk Lawan bribery setup.
