Britain may have blown £2m in foreign aid helping Nigerians to export ROCKS: Corrupt officials are filling containers with boulders instead of leather so they can pocket the money

• Investigation claims officials turn a blind eye to international schemes when they go wrong
• In some cases made poverty worse in country with UK taxpayers' money
• A total of £250million of British money is given to Nigeria every year
• Britain may have squandered millions of pounds in aid money to fund a project in Nigeria designed to boost leather exports – but has instead seen corrupt officials shipping rocks overseas.
  An investigation found that taxpayers’ money was being wasted on schemes that the Department for International Development (Dfid) turned a blind eye to if they went wrong and actually in some cases made poverty worse in the country.
  A watchdog also claimed Dfid beefed up its achievements on projects to make them sound more successful than they were.
