About 35 ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government failed to appear before the House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating alleged employment racketeering.
Following Monday’s drama during the investigative hearing in which a former desk officer at the Federal Character Commission, Haruna Kolo, confessed to have collected over N75m in bribes from job seekers on behalf of the FCC Chairman, Farida Dankala, representatives of accused MDAs were expected at the investigative hearing on Tuesday to give their account.
“Most of these agencies are not respectful of constituted authority. We are supposed to have the presence of 40 agencies but only four are here,” Gagdi said.
