The Administrator General of the office David Yaro said they do not have a car and they therefore use commercial motorbikes which is currently illegal in the country.
“Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to do our work. The volume of work is such that, it should have been commiserated by the resources, unfortunately, we don’t have the resources. A big office like that, we don’t have a single vehicle to make movement. If I am to go and check the authenticity of anything, I am crippled… I don’t have a vehicle; and in my office most of the time, we have to do dispatches with ‘Okada’ and taxis from our own pockets.”

This is not the first time the office of the Administrator General is complaining of the lack of resources. The situation has persisted even after the transition act was passed.
The roles of the office include taking stock of all government resources including cars, bungalows, furnishing, and lands. But Taro said they are understaffed and it makes it difficult to perform their role as expected.
“I have one director of administration and two junior officers. So with this magnitude of work, I need to have very easy and experienced officers to be able to help me keep the database. I need an ICT specialist and information officer and a Public Relations Officer who can project the office. I need a Human Resource Manager and all these things as it stands now, I don’t have that at all,” he said.
He said his office is yet to hear favourably from the Ministry of Finance after an appeal.
