尼日利亚国家现金转移办公室表示，2023年向35个州的329万人发放了337.5亿奈拉，但新闻创新与发展中心的审计发现没有凭证确认谁实际收到了钱。报告称该机构工作人员还阻止审计人员查看相关银行记录。
Nigeria's National Cash Transfer Office says it paid ₦33.75 billion to 3.29 million people across 35 states in 2023, but an audit by the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development found no vouchers confirming who actually received the money.

尼日利亚国家现金转移办公室（NCTO）称，根据新闻创新与发展中心UDEME项目的审计，2023年在一项社会支持计划下向35个州的329万人发放了337.5亿奈拉。但审计发现没有凭证或记录能确认谁实际收到了这些付款。
Nigeria's National Cash Transfer Office (NCTO) says it disbursed ₦33.75 billion to 3.29 million people across 35 states in 2023 under a social-support program, according to an audit by the UDEME project of the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID). But the audit found no vouchers or records identifying who actually received the payments.
报告称该机构的会计人员阻止审计人员检查本可证实付款是否到达预期接收者手中的银行记录。CJID表示，缺乏文件记录引发了对资金管理方式的严重质疑。
The report said accounts staff at the agency blocked auditors from examining the bank records that would have confirmed the disbursements reached their intended recipients. CJID said the lack of documentation raises serious questions about how the money was managed.
该现金转移计划是尼日利亚近年来为减轻补贴和货币改革对低收入家庭影响而扩大的几项社会保护方案之一。这些发现增加了对这类公共资金如何被追踪和核算的审查。
The cash-transfer program is one of several social-protection schemes Nigeria has expanded in recent years to cushion the impact of subsidy and currency reforms on low-income households. The findings add to scrutiny of how such public funds are tracked and accounted for.
