The house of representatives committee on public account has summoned governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele over non-disclosure of recovered funds.
The committee also summoned Osagie Ehanire, minister of health; Isa Pantami, minister of communication and digital economy; Babatunde Fashola, minister of works and housing; Rauf Aregbesola, minister of interior.
Fashola and Aregbesola are to appear before the lawmakers with their permanent secretaries and directors of finance.
chairman of the committee, Oluwole Oke , yesterday, issued the summon.
The committee is investigating the alleged non-disclosure of $40.52 million recovered funds between 2016-2019 raised by the office of the auditor-general of the federation.
Oke said the committee issued the summons due to the reluctance of the public officials to honour previous invitations of the committee.
“We have invited the ministry of works, and over five times they have written us to ask for more times, we cannot continue like this,” Oke said.
