The former General Manager of Project Coordination at the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Engr. Joseph Ciroma Almajiri, has retired from service but it’s alleged that he left so many unsolved corruption cases against him according to some sources

One of the lingering cases as alleged is money collected for unattended training programs. For instance, some sources say the African Development Bank (AFDB) has written to the TCN requesting a refund of the monies. Moreover, the sources allege that there were funds appropriated for the development and upgrades of the electricity distribution network system; the sources say that the funds were gotten from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) through an SA in the office of former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. However, it was alleged that Chiroma didn’t use the funds.

One interesting accusation against Chiroma is that he is now plotting to be appointed as the Managing Director of the TCN, but the sources say Ciroma has forgotten that he worked against Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and the APC; the sources say he funded the Labour Party in southern Kaduna. A member of the electricity union said, “How can a man with so many allegations of corruption want to be our MD?” On July 27th, 2022, and October 21st, 2022, the electricity union wrote petitions that specifically requested the EFCC investigate Ciroma. The petitions were also submitted to the then Minister of Power, Eng. Abubakar Aliyu.

This medium have tried to get Mr. Almajiri’s response to the allegations to no avail.
