When the Numbers Refuse to Lie: A Question Nigeria Must Answer
The Case of Engr. Farouk Ahmed, NMDPRA
One of the deepest crises confronting Northern Nigeria today is not only insecurity or poverty, but the collapse of moral accountability among those who wield public power.
For decades, a section of the Fulani political elite has governed with little emotional or developmental attachment to the land they control. Their approach to power appears nomadic extract wealth, relocate it elsewhere, and leave the region behind to face hunger, insecurity, and social decay. The result is painfully visible: deepening poverty, collapsing education systems, and begging reduced to a means of survival.
Yet while ordinary people struggle daily, some public officials live far beyond what their lawful income can reasonably explain.
This brings us to a specific and unavoidable case.
Who Is Involved?
Engr. Farouk Ahmed
Authority Chief Executive
Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA)
As the head of a critical national regulatory institution, Engr. Farouk Ahmed occupies a position that demands the highest standard of transparency, restraint, and public trust.
The Salary Reality
By publicly available standards, his reported earnings are:
Annual salary: ₦48 million
Monthly salary: ₦4 million
These figures are substantial but they are also finite, measurable, and verifiable.
Now pause for a moment.
Because this same public figure is widely reported to have spent ₦8 billion on private expenses, specifically secondary school fees for his children abroad.
₦8 billion.
This is the point where emotion ends and arithmetic begins.
The Arithmetic Test
Engr. Farouk Ahmed has spent approximately 25 years in government service.
Let us calculate the maximum possible lifetime earnings from salary alone:
₦48,000,000 × 25 years = ₦1.2 billion
And this already assumes an impossible scenario:
No food expenses
No housing
No transport
No family responsibilities
No medical costs
No life whatsoever
Even under this extreme and unrealistic assumption, the total comes to ₦1.2 billion.
The Gap That Cannot Be Ignored
If ₦1.2 billion is the maximum salary-based earning over 25 years…
Where did the remaining ₦6.8 billion come from?
This is not hatred.
This is not tribalism.
This is not politics.
This is basic arithmetic demanding explanation.
Why This Matters
Engr. Farouk Ahmed regulates a sector that directly affects:
National revenue
Fuel pricing
Energy security
Economic stability
At a time when:
Universities are severely underfunded
Millions of children are out of school
Northern communities are sinking deeper into hunger and insecurity
The appearance of unexplained personal wealth among top regulators is not merely disturbing it is a legitimate public concern.
Conclusion
This article makes no accusations.
It asks a lawful and civic question.
When numbers refuse to add up, silence becomes suspicious. Transparency is not optional for public servants it is a duty owed to the people.
Until a clear explanation is offered, the question remains unavoidable:
How does a public official earning ₦48 million annually lawfully account for ₦8 billion spent on secondary school fees abroad?
Numbers do not lie.
And the public deserves answers.
